I did try the polylabs system on one tank but did not see great results, which could have been as much due to the heat we had this summer as anything else.
I have researched zeo a fair amount and am convinced that it is a great system as long as the additives are readily available, which I think they will be now that we have a few LFS that are carrying it as well as a Canadian supplier.
My previous frustration in trying to run this system was trying to get additives in a timely way.
FWIW I do not find this system that expensive to run once you have the additives as you use so little of them that they will last a very long time. It can be costly initially however to aquire the things you need.
Yes the initialcost is what I balked at, as I am not 100% percent sold on its effectiveness. Ultralith is essentialy the same system with different zeolite and less additives (though that is the quick and dirty on it, it probably differs in other ways as well, though i didn't notice many)
If you don't mind me asking what was your initial costs?
Thank-You
