Gee, Willito, what's your secret. Low maintenance and brilliant colour. Sounds like a good combo to me!!

I'd like to hear the long term benefits and drawbacks of the system. Most of the stories seem to focus on short term sucess, but what is the rate of success after many months or years with it. Does it start to wane in efectiveness over time? That seems to be the case I'm experiencing with the Reefresh system, all was great at first, but now it seems to be ineffective in keeping the film algae at bay, and my sps are just not doing great at all.

I've been using Zeo for 2 years with no redused effectiveness. In actuallity over time you use less and less Zeo until you are at very little dosing.
As Willito says, if your not willing to perform daily dosing it will be difficult to be successful.

If you don't want to use it, don't?

I mean, seriously, why would people be so enthusiastic about a product that doesn't work? When is the last time you saw someone going off about what a great product their Skilter was?

"OMG, SUCH AN UBER SKIMMER AT ONE TENTH THE COST! I GOT RID OF MY BUBBLEKING SINCE IT WAS SUCH JUNK COMPARED TO THIS! YOU ALL MUST BUY!"

There are sevearl reasons, one of which would be high pressure sales like this! I'm asking to see how it works from people that have been using it. I see lots of threads on the zeovit site where people are not seeing the results, and the replies are "just keep waiting". If it works as claimed, and lots of people use it, then there should be lots of pics, right?

Your comment sounds like an infommercial without any blingy props. I've asked to see pics, not to debate it's effectiveness.
Does anyone else have pics?

Brad, I wonder if any of the LFS's in Victoria (are there any decent ones?) that might have zeo running on a display tank? That was one of the things that sold me on zeo was to see it up and running with my own two eyes.

I had also seen it in a super sweet zeo tank here in town, its a massive 300+Gallon tank in an office. The tank is heavily stocked with large tangs and angels and the water clarity was mindblowing.

Greg, Safari, our local supplier, is going to set it up on their display, which unfortunately is not a SPS tank. I think May might include a trip to th emainland, so I'll see if I can mooch some viewing from some of the users here. I'll probably sign up, just for the added nutrient export, it's just that my reading at zeovit.com left me lacking...
I'm confident with the skills I have and my existing equipment that I can produce a nice tank (if I ever get any corals!!), but zeo may just give it that extra push I've always been after
