Quick answer to those questions
Zeovit is a more natural approach to filteration in reef Aquaria.
By providing a carbon fuel source (Zeostart) & also vital elements to promote Bacterial growth (Zeofood) you are creating a controlled bacterial bloom .
Bacteria need less complex food source like PO4 or NO3 & also many have the ability to breakdown other compounds into less complex form & then utilize as a food source.
The bacteria is then exported by the skimmer which will in return reduce your nutrient levels in the system.
There are a few different Probiotic systems that have mainly been copied from Zeovit system ,the concepts are very similar in most cases ,however what is unique about Zeovit is the use of zeoliths as a media.
Zeoliths are naturaly occuring minerals & also there are synthetic ones as well.
The have the ability to selectively adsorb different compounds based on what type they are.
there are 3 different Types of Zeoliths in the Zeovit mix which will absorb NH4 & No3 ,...
Not only they take those compounds & organics out of the water but also provide a media for the bacteria to grow on & take advantage of the saturated nutrients ,by daily agitation of the media you put the bacteria back in the water some will be used by corals as food source & rest exported by the skimmer & therefore reduce nutrients.
I hope this helps
