From what I recall reading SPS in home aquariums grow much more porous, light weight and brittle than their counterparts on a reef and encouraging faster growth does not necessarily equate to “better” corals, does it? Does anybody have any links to anything scientific and hopefully peer reviewed? It strikes me that for a company that could be bottling water with iodine in it and selling it for a staggering amount they must do some research.

It would appear that you have put little effort into your search for information o Zeovit. There is a ton of Scientific information out there. Zeovit or for that matter any bacteria based system is built on nutrient reduction not coral growth.
