A few people did not catch the twitter message I sent out today, so I’ll give a brief update on the two doses of Zeozym so far. This product has not been discussed much until recently and has spurred numerous e-mails in regards to its effectiveness and our experiences so far. If you missed the first post, you can learn more about Zeozym here.
My initial “judgement”, would be that it is like a more potent Coral Snow. When adding the powdered substance to water you expect some cloudiness, but after a good shake the solution becomes white. It is difficult to capture in photos, but the cloudiness is different than CS–less sediment like.
No changes in the tank have been observed so far, but our protein skimmer is enjoying this additive. After cleaning out the skimmer the day after a Zeozym dose, I can say the stench puts any other skimmate to shame. It is bad. A thick cream colored sludge shows the additive is being removed what else it is pulling out with it is hard to say. After next week we will adjust the dosing to 2 times a week.
Original testers have said it takes weeks before any results are seen, so we’re being patient. It is not a miracle nutrient reduction cure and it will take time to be effective.
If you have purchased the product or plan to, be forewarned the lid is very difficult to get off. Also be very gentle when putting it back on or you will be in the same situation to get it back off. I am tempted to put it in a new container…
Feel free to ask any questions or share your experiences with Zeozym in the comments.
