I ran Zeo for about 5 years on my 370G tank. It gave me everything that Zeo advocates. I received great support from my LFS and when they didn't know the answers I was handed the phone and spoke directly to the wholesaler (Who had been running Zeo in his home system for a very long time).
It is vital that consistancy is maintained through out the process or you can run into problems.
When I get a reef tank set up again I would continue to use some of the addatives, but may not go with the actual system. just becaue I have become lazy and don't think I would keep up with the dosing

Im currently using the zeovit system. So far I have really liked it and I have some great colors. So far I think the microorganism solution has given me the best results though. Every time I dose with it, the skimmer starts to pull way more skimmate out and the tanks colors are incredible. I would recommend there system, it seems to work for me.

I'd say at least half of my frags came from zeo tanks. Generally speaking they don't look as nice in my system but are all thriving and growing. I'd love to try the system but I'm a) scared to, b) too lazy and c) don't want to attempt anything i *know* I can't afford to port over to my new tank which is 4 times the volume.

I've used a few of the additives on and off here and there in the past, I thought there was a noticeable difference in some colors... I'll probably give a few of them another go but as mentioned by others, I'm tooooo lazy for the full system.

Hey Mike xtra special is actually considered to be used when trying to get your colors a little darker.

I've been running my Full zeo tank for 8 months now. Hasn't been perfect but it's still a new tank and I realize it takes time to get ULNS. This is my first time keeping sps in this new setup and I've been pleased with the colors. One thing I'll say is I can take a brown frag and get it to it's true color in less than a week sometimes.

Some misconceptions I see:
It's too expensive!- the basic 4 is cheap compared to all the other additive. Stones can last up to two months and cost of those is cheap. Bak isn't dosed every day and in small amounts, bottle might last someone a year. Start3 is twice a day but it's so little I say you could get a year out of a bottle. I don't even dose food7 right now.

As for the other bottles it's just like any other company selling additives, zeovit just happens to be top notch. You don't have to run them, you can feed more and get good results. The Zeovit system isn't everything they sell it really consists of the basic 4 which isn't that costly. I know changing GFO could get expensive. That said I wouldn't to it on a huge system, if you could drop alot of coin trying out all those bottles.

As for alot of time spent. Two times a day around 1 min of work, I think other things take more time.

I recommend to anyone who wants to start a zeovit system to read the guide off the site.

I think I'm gonna go for it, at least at first. If it turns out that I'm not able to keep up with the maintenance on it, I'll switch to biopellets, but we'll see how it goes. Almost ready to order the actual tank!
