I can't comment on system Reefresh ,it has different components & does not use Zeolites.
However ,if you are starting a tank it make sense to start the zeovit system from day 1 ,it will lower your cycling period by a great deal ,you will see a lot less algae blooms & phases.The Zeolites used for the Zeovit system are specially selected to absorb Ammonia ,that is one of their most important roles ,it will absorb the amonia even before the breakdown process of it starts,so yes you can add your animals alot quicker than if you were not going to start the tank with Zeovit.
In germany many new tanks are set up with Zeovit & reefscaped with Reefceramics & then fully populated with SPS corals withing 6 weeks or so ,I have seen it done many times .
Keep in mind it might be a bit longer with Live rock ,but just to answer your question Yes you can introduce SPS alot quicker

What is the daily maintenance or task list like running Zeovit? Or is it weekly stuff?

Or let me put it another way ... how much training do you have to give a person who tanksits for you when you're on, say, a two-week vacation or something? Or can the Zeovit system sorta handle the odd slack period here and there?

We are talking about 2 minutes a day .To run the system you have 1 additive you dose daily & a few other components that dosed couple of times a day,everything is dosed in drops or very small milliliter amounts.
It is very easy to show anyone how to maintain the tank on Zeovit ,also asuming your tank is fully automated & you can leave it for a week or 2 ,even if you missed the dosing ,it is no problems ,you can start when you come back ,stopping the system completely will have no illeffect in anyway ,you will eventually get back to the same conditions before you started Zeovit.

Ok I'll let you know what my daily ZEOvit Schedule is.

keep in mind I have a net water volume of 300G

In the am I put 1ml of ZEOstart2 in the sump. aprox time to perform this 3 sec.


Evening. During fish feeding
1ml of ZEOstart2 (same as in the morning)
12ml of K-Balance (this is optional)

2 or 3 times a week
12 drops of ZEObak
12 drops of Zeo Food7

So it really takes no time as all. I find I need to clean the glass less often and I word say cleaning the glass took more time that an entire week of doesing.

Hope this helps

Wow those pictures are impressive. I think I am fianally sold on getting a zeovit system. I have been putting it off because my sump area is a very tight fit and I travel for work so much and have worried about the daily maintanence while I am away 4-5 days at a time. Maybe I can convince my wife her doing that for me is a trade off for the recent kitchen reno's. I assume the zeovit would solve my hair algae problem I have been battling?

I can tell you using Zeovit system , hair algae will be easily gone .
Convincing your wife to help you with your tank
That might be harder
In my case Girlfriend will make me regret asking ,doesnot matter even if I reno the whole place

I think I can convince her, now the question is can I fit one in my sump?

Hey, here is a link to Zeovit PDF manual from their site

That link talks about needing to do water changes weekly ... I do my water changes on a monthly basis. I know weekly would be better but monthly is what I can do (I change out about 25%). That going to be a problem do you think?
