Can someone tell me all the positive results they've seen with zeo?

Do you see more growth, or is it just better quality growth (more color, thicker skeletons, etc.)?

I hear a lot of people say they get better coloration out of their corals, but what kind? Brighter colors, sharper contrasts?

Noticeablye improvements with Zeovit:

- Better water clarity, on par with ozone.
- Increased stability. I feed as much as I want without algae blooms or SPS browning.
- Better colors, brighter with more contrast. Browned out corals regain their coloration in short time frames (1-3 months for a full recovery, IME).
- Better growth because I can feed more.
- Increased vigor due to the supplementary feeding of bacteria to the coral.
- With a super low nutrient system, I now have the option to play with and refine the coloration of my corals by using trace element solutions/combinations. You CANNOT do this in a high nutrient tank. You're just asking for algae problems.

As far as testing goes, I test once every two weeks. Same as when I didn't have Zeovit.

Either way, check this out:

All the scientific abstract you can shake a stick at.

Not anymore:

Starter Ultralith kit is $88.99

An equivalent Zeovit kit would cost $77.96.

Not to rain on your plans, but I'd consider taking a full evaluation of the Zeovit system prior to starting on your Ultralith.

Start with a few questions at www.zeovit.com. Look for responses by G.Alexander and Mesocosm. Both of them are extremely knowledgable.

I believe both Hidden Reef and JL Aquatics carry Zeovit in your area.
