Prodibio is much milder than the other 2 systems. You'll see a much less dramatic effect. I ended up supplementing it with sugar dosing to get the look I wanted. In the end I found a fuge with macro algae to be more effective for nutrient export.

When i got those ampoules from AO they were probidio bacterial culture.
I think these product lines are very close and can be mixed.

I was using FaunaMarine (including probidio) and now use Zeo (just because J&L has it and it's closer to my home)
Mix and match FM leftovers with ZEO, all life stock is happy.
Its all the same principal: Bacterial culture , bacterial food , coral food , amino acids etc. I have dosing calculator for faunamarine if anybody interested.

ok I decided to go with the zeo system. Anybody want to share their experiences? How long do you have to dose before you start to notice some changes? Any specific additives in the system you would not recommend or ones that you would particularly recommend? It's a pretty big system!

This guide will answer all of your questions.
First step is to set a reactor the important thing is to properly calculate NET water volume for the first zeo rocks portion.
if you have stocked tank already you need to take 20% off of you water volume for decorations then use only 60% of what is required for the first time and make sure to reduce the flow down to required g/hr.
Then for the first 6-8 weeks use only additives that recommended for the initial period.
After that you can start adding staff for color enhancement for SPS.

Try www.zeovit.com they have forums specifically for helping people with their systems. They are very good there.
