To zeo or not to zeo

[digital-audiophile]

It may be a snake oil but it works. I've never really dug into the details of exactly what it is but based on the results I have seen online, in person with others tanks, and most importantly with my own it really is a miracle "drug"

I can say that right now it has eliminated all my nusiance algae... I have not had to wipe green film algae off my glass in two weeks!

I bet one can find at least a dozen posts by me stating that Zeo is not required, a waste of time, money, etc.
But, I figured I'd put my money where my mouth is, and took my LFS up on a great deal.
Within 2 weeks I noticed colors that I've never been able to get in my previous 9 years of keeping SPS. I did not get an increase in growth, I agree that too fast is not good, and I've developed patience over the years
Overall, I'm impressed with Zeo and will continue to use it.

Now if only you will repent on the NEED for MH all will be well in the world LOL!

There is a real misconception out there that the "ZEOvit system" is an end all, cure all, my tank will be amazing it's going to be so easy now product. Id never recommend ZEO to a noobie or someone who lacks the interest in testing water params religiously.

What people don't realize is how stable your tank must be to even start a full blown zeo regiment. People tend to just listen to the LFS employee and don't research the system for themselves and end up with terrible results (sometimes system crashes) and feel they have wasted their money.

IMHO the ZEOvit system is not a way to "cheat" to get a great tank. It is a way for people to further progress their already great tanks.

I tend to agree, a way to get the final 10% out of your tank for the more experienced reefkeeper. That being said, the nicest tanks I have ever seen in person have not run zeo.
