For the extra cash is it really worth it? I see tanks like Marie has and she has phenominal growth and color without the high end salts or the Zeo system.
I think it does. IO has basically nothing in it. You end up supplementing so much Ca, Mg and ALK that IMO its not worth it for anything other than a FOWLR tank.

But I mean, if you don't need it, don't bother...use IO if its working for you.
