I am starting to see colours in SPS. The best example so far is a scroll that I purchased totally brown and is now turning green and purple.

Are you seeing your SPS coloring up, or are you seeing new colors?

All i can say is that I did have beautiful colors (Green, Red, Blue and Pink) with T5 and ZEO, right until I decided to give it “a little bit more flow” .
The result is Dead SPS colonies within 3 days. Only one pink colony survived, but blues, reds and greens are gone fast !
The ones that survived are recovering now , but this was about $300 lesson
:sad:

When i switched from PC lights to T5 and Zeo. I had a brown green SPS that used to be pink (got from Chin Lee long time ago),it was brown for two years (!) this thing turned pink in three month and it was beautifull deep pink color.
Zeo works but follow the instructions precisely.
Well after my flow experiment this frag is now light green and recovering , not sure what color it will be but its still alive !

At least for me it is colouring up, as I did not have much SPS before I went the T5/zeo route so I don't have any long lasting SPS comparisions.

Im my LPS (frogspawn,torch, brain) that I had before the swtich I have noted more extension and plumpness with the brain.. I even see feeding tentacles during the daylight hours.

You NEED Zeo products to have colorful SPS - it's a fact.

:question: While I respectfully disagree with your statement, do you have any photos of your own system? Do you even have and SPS system on Zeo at this time?

Zeovit are for people who haven't master the art of maintaining a stable system naturally. There is a chemical and biological balance that needs to be meet and kept as constant as possible to achieve the colorful stony corals. IMO, most hobbiests lack the true understand of a the biological filtration process and how ph, alkalinity, magnesium affect one another. Once you master how to manipulate these factors and keep them as a constant level, you will see your coral grow with a smile. By no means I've mastered it, but by keeping these levels constant, my corals can give zeoheads a run for their money. My secret weapon was getting my Ca reactor effluent as stable as possible and running the biggest skimmer that can fit into my sump.

I disagree, as I don't think that is a fair assesment. Even with zeo you still need to have an understanding of NSW and the ability to keep in line Ca/Alk/PH. You cannot just buy a reactor and a bunch of bottles of zeo goodies and expect to have a "show tank"

Each time a Thread on Zeovit and it's results is started. It turns into this

Like I would actually take part in this thread.

Sorry Brad. Next time you jump over to the mainland PM me. I'm about 5 minutes from the ferry
