zeovit

[honkey sauce]

true this was last year so with the increased popularity your probably right. I just didnt go back.plus it was costing 200 $ a month.I wouldnt recommend it on large tanks if you dont want to pay that.

theres BC method I would consider too

I have noticed a lot of backlash and...well other remarks regarding Zeo on RC lately. But alas like everything else who knows. I have not tried it, but even the people I've talked to wo have run it for awhile say it keeps their tanks on a very fine razor thin line. I've had people tell me the only reason it works is it forces people who spend that much money to have a reason to constantly monitor their tanks, which if they hadn't forked out the money they wouldn't. If i had the money i would have tied it though...just to see.

Quite frankly I'm getting sick of justifying my use of Zeo and that is why initially I didn't want to post in this thread.

Everyone has an opinion but unless you've tried it your opinion means nothing.

I am with Jason here. I have been using ZEOvit for about a year. I have had remarkable results and will be using it until something better comes along. Now that the cost of the products have come down by about 25% it has become very affordable. If you have been lucky enough to have seen Jason's tank you would definitely agree with what ever system Jason is employing. I have seen many very exceptional tanks and I can tell you very few of these Reefers are practising the same method.

For costs look at this

I am curious about total cost vs the cost of Reef Refresh system by PolypLabs.

Anybody know?

[Tom R]

I originally looked at the Reef Refresh system and estimated my costs for my 500G setup to be approx $1800 per year. My original estimates for ZEOvit was approx $1400 per year. My first year costs have been approx $900 as once my levels came into check I cut my dosage's to about half. I am using just the basic 4.

Not bad for a 500 (!!!) gallon set up. Actually, I've read that in the larger systems, not only can you cut down to half of your dosing scheme during phase 3, but you can get away with using significantly less product than the recommended volume amount. There's a few tanks on Z-Land that go on this rule.

Is there any point in running Zeo in the initial stages of the tank's life? Or is it best to start the regimen once you have some stock of corals in your tank?

[atcguy]

use fauna marine Ultralith, much more cost effective!!!!!!!!!!!

[michika]

Can someone tell me all the positive results they've seen with zeo?

Do you see more growth, or is it just better quality growth (more color, thicker skeletons, etc.)?

I hear a lot of people say they get better coloration out of their corals, but what kind? Brighter colors, sharper contrasts?
