I think it has to do with your nutrient levels at the beginning of zeo, during zeo and how lucky you are. Luck because you are feeding bacteria with the carbon source but not just a specific strain of bacteria. In this case, cyano is being fed and is apparently dominant. This is obviously the reason to dose more ZEObak (bacteria) but I think you still have to get lucky.
And yes, I feel now that ZEO is more of a pain than its worth and still don't know about starting again with the new tank...leaning towards no.
