Want to buy vertex zeolite reactor rx-z 1.5

Are you looking for the complete system? Bulk Reef Supply has the complete start up kit for a good price.

I'm looking for a rector only. Used is good enough to me.

$160 on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vertex-Rx-Z-1-5-/151835478753?hash=item235a198ae1&vxp=mtr

[takayan]

Thank u for the info! I made an offer!

Have you had success with the Zeovit system? How long have you been running it?

 

[takayan]

My zeovit tank has been running 2.5 years. Zeovit is very effective to maintain very low nutrient level. I never have the issue for the nutrient such as PO4 and NO3. However, I lost a couple of SPS colony with other reasons like low salinity and high KH, but it is nothing related to Zeovit system.
It costs little bit more than other system. All-In-One biopellet might be better than Zeovit, but I am afraid to change the system.

I'm thinking of getting this to start up: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/kz-zeovit-starter-pkg-vertex-rx-z-3-0-zeolite-reactor.html

Do you think it is a good way to go to get started with Zeovit?

 

[takayan]

I think twice a year there are huge zeovit sale like 20-40% off for their additive. You might wait for the sale to start ZEOvit.

 

[takayan]

Oh I forgot to mention one thing. You should buy KZ Sponge Power as well.

How many gallons is your system on the RX-z 1.5?

 

[takayan]

200gal total, but the water volume is around 180gal. I used 1.5L zeolite.

 

[TheRealChrisBrown]

I'm at about 180 as well, but I wasn't sure the 1.5 would be big enough?

 

[takayan]

180 gal water requires 1.8L zeolite, but it is max volume. I would suggest to use less zeolite than recommended. If u have many fish, u might want to use more zeolite.

How is the new reactor working out for you?

 

[takayan]

I love it! One thing I do not like is that PVC on the reactor is EU(?) size.
