NeoZeo Method from Brightwell Aquatics



Brightwell Aquatics has released their new NeoZeo Media and also an 18 page manual describing the complete NeoZeo method for reef tanks. This method includes dosing probiotics (microbes and a carbon source) as well as the use of a Zeolite media in a reactor or canister filter. The method also covers dosing schedules with certain supplements that are known to encourage great coral coloration and increase the health of reef aquaria.

The NeoZeo manual is nicely written and breaks the method into logical categories of nutrient limitation and then nutrient supplementation. This basically works to limit the bad nutrients and then add all the good stuff for the corals and other reef animals.

Nutrient supplementation is also broken down into inorganic supplementation and organic supplementation. This helps to distinguish between adding major elements and feeding. This section of the manual covers dosing the very important potassium and also the addition of amino acids. Both of these supplements have improved coloration in my sps aquarium and I am looking forward to trying the full method.
