Like rice reef states some go all out with the program with dosing the 3 bactor stuff with the zeo reactors and all the fixings. I think the only way to get the zeo look is to go all out. Some people use specific ones to achieve something specific.
Personally I have tried their products here and there and only really kept using coral snow for the cleaning effect and to help battle cyano bacteria if they pop up.
Some corals look stunning when they get the classic zeo pastel colouration but in general i like the coral colours more deep and solid.

I dosed the same 3 you bought for close to a year with no noticeable difference when I started or when I quit except my wallet was lighter.

You would be the odd one out. Are you still running a tank? Maybe I can help you figure out why it didn't have any effect. What were your specs/livestock, etc?

I think once you look into the cost of the two programs zeo will be more costly.

I run some zeo products in my tank and the zeo products are twice as much

I can get. Prodi for $40 big box

All the zeo foods are $50+. Per bottle.

Give it a shot u may love it




Myself though prodi runs me $120 a year
The zeo foods prob over $300 a year

I used:Sponge Power
Coral Vitalizer
Pohls Extra
Coral Snow

My water was very clear and I had a lot more sponges. I did notice that the day after every dose of Pohls Extra I would get a tiny spot of red cyano show up. I have not used Zeovit for a few years now other than Coral Snow when I remember. Which is maybe 1 or 2 times a month. I think Zeovit products are too expensive for me to use and I'm not a "struggling student".

Haha yup
I would probably still be using all I mentioned but the Pohls if I didn't have to order online. It adds too much to the cost in my case.

I think the biggest problem is comming off zeo or missing some dosages. It's way way more intense and time consuming. U can really leave your tank for a week pluse on zeo. I used both and like prodibio the best. Your not going to get results from anything in a month. And ontop of that I find not all corals do well in a ulns.
