What's your take on zeovit?

[mrhasan]

Well I tried prodibio before moving my tank to the new place (15 vials of biodigest and 15 vials of biotim). Well, honestly, I am not really happy with it. Part of the reason being that I didn't notice much change (maybe I am judging too quickly?) but that's not my real reason. The real reason is why should I use a product from a company who cannot even find the "required" dosage???!!!!! I think this is the 3rd (or probably) 4th time they have changed their dosage recommendation. So I quit

Anyway, this thread is not about prodibio so lets leave the argument for some other time. I recently bought three blue bottles of magic potions named coral vitalizer, coral snow and phol's xtra. Yesterday was the first dosage. Its obviously too quick to judge the output of CV and Xtra but coral snow got me impressed overnight! My tank's water is very clear (people who came over generally appreciate that before anything ) but my OH MY! This thing make my water almost disappear (if it wasn't for the wave, I wouldnt even notice the water; its THAT clear).

So, being impatient, I have started studying about zeovit and I like it Seems like a lot of work but I like my tank to be interactive and just not something that I will just look at. So, I am just wondering, who are using proper zeovit system? I know Brad does so please do share your thoughts Do you like it? Does it worth it? I have done my calculation and the running cost seems to be fairly low (compared to prodibio!). So looking forward to some insights

First of all, what are you looking for or what are your expectations when dosing zeovit?

Some go all out with the program while others adopt certain potions that they like.

Ops sorry for missing that. Basically, what other zeovit tanks looks like. Obviously not the most pristine one but I want to be on its way because seems like starting the system in a matured tank is more challenging than starting from the beginning. Basically I am after three primary things that zeovit provides: ULNS, crystal clear water and color; growth is a secondary addon for me.

Well, like I said, maybe I am commenting on it way too early (but after spending $50 which could have resulting in some noticeable progress with zeovit). But my complain is prodibio doesn't seem to be consistent with its own packaging. Some says 1 vial per 50 gallon while some says 1 vial per 250 gallon of biodigest. Plus the cost seems to be a bit high too ($50/three months + other cost once ULNS gets established while I can achieve a lot more with zeovit with that rate of expense) compared to the output. And dosing one vial of strontium/iodine seems way too vague to me.

Been using prodibio bio-digest and bioptim for a while now and love the results.also using the ff KZ additives:amino acid,amino acid lps,pohl's xtra,coral vitalizer,k potassium balance,sponge power,macro elements,iron,and I'm getting good coloration and growth.just purchased coral snow and dosed on Friday but haven't noticed any changes yet(too early perhaps)

if cost is a factor you can always VSV and supplement which ever zeo products you need to , when trying to get to ULNS theres more than one way to skin a cat besides what the market offers in a box or bottle.

as for the zeo products you use, some of them have a very distinct purpose even if it isnt noticable right away and some have faster effects.

its not a bogus program that sells products that do nothing each additive has a purpose thats been tested and proven to have a certain affect , alot of research goes into this product line,just because one reefer noticed no changes doesnt mean you will , each system is different to a point.

spend some time on the zeo forumns and become familiar with everything and start small.

all in all zeo is what you make it, it can be cheap or pricey depending on how far into you want to get

gl!!

cheers

I googled "Coral Snow" once and got pages upon pages of snakes!! True story, and False advertising!

Like rice reef states some go all out with the program with dosing the 3 bactor stuff with the zeo reactors and all the fixings. I think the only way to get the zeo look is to go all out. Some people use specific ones to achieve something specific.
Personally I have tried their products here and there and only really kept using coral snow for the cleaning effect and to help battle cyano bacteria if they pop up.
Some corals look stunning when they get the classic zeo pastel colouration but in general i like the coral colours more deep and solid.

I dosed the same 3 you bought for close to a year with no noticeable difference when I started or when I quit except my wallet was lighter.

You would be the odd one out. Are you still running a tank? Maybe I can help you figure out why it didn't have any effect. What were your specs/livestock, etc?
