Not being a true blue zeohead I can only guess here .. but I think zeo does more than just reduce nutrients. For one, there's the food thing (ok, guess that's still equivalent to the pellets, but I bet the particulate size is different, which makes it somewhat distinguishable), water clarity and brighter SPS colours. Just guesses though.
If the goal was just nutrient reduction though - the pellets are cheaper and more effective without manual daily intervention. That said, some regular basis monitoring is still needed (make sure there are no clogs etc) but at least you're not pumping some reactor every day. I dunno. I'm not sure if the zeo guys are worried yet, but I do agree the pellets on their own seem probably good enough for most folks. Going beyond that and doing both is probably venturing into a more experimental type category perhaps..

Well, I think the zeo additives will continue to be used, perhaps in conjunction with the pellets (i'm sure tonnes of people are doing that now). I didn't realize the zeo rocks clarified the water as well. I thought coral snow did that. $6 a month is pretty darn cheap in this hobby! Especially for what the $6 is getting you each month, low nutrients (which is priceless in my opinion).

I've been using the pellets along with the Zeovit Amino Acid, Sponge Power and Coral Vitalizer, without the Zeo Rocks. Nitrate levels have dropped considerably which I attribute to the pellets. I may drop the additives to see if there is any change in coral colour and growth.

Yup. The UF-15 easily holds one liter of pellets and tumbles them very nicely with the MJ-1200. Very happy with it.

I found a barbed fitting that was 1/2" on one end and 3/4" on the other. Then a couple of hose clamps.
