zeovit causing cyano??

[Joe0813]

so Ive been using the zeovit system now on my 180 for about 2 months. so far it seems to have done basically nothing except for introduce cyano to my tank. Has anyone had this issue or am I doing something wrong. I put in 1.2ml of zeostart 3 every day, 6 drips of Zeobak and 6 drips of Zeofood 7

too much of the organics and you can get cyano..
All of what you are using is organic..

Welcome to overdose..

Crap, looks like I'll cut down on them. I also heard not to have your alk high when using a zeovit reactor

I got a nice cyano bloom about two months after I started dosing SeaChem Reef Plus, at less than recommended levels even. Paused the amino acid dosing and the cyano went away in about 10 days. Restarted the Reef Plus at half of what I was previously using. Looking good so far.
