I have used both. I used polyplab for 5-6 months and saw some growth in my SPS with no effects when I stopped (but did not stop cold turkey). I have been using zeo for >1 month and think the growth is probably better. My tank parameters have deteriorated when starting the zeo. My PO4 went from 0.01 to 0.10 with some hair algae growth. However, the PO4 is improving. I would go with zeo, although obtaining a reactor is a pain.
p.s. it is difficult to keep the reactor full of water when it is turned off. You are supposed to turn it on and off every three hours initially while your nutrients are high. This usually involves some form of modification.

THANKS EVERYONE! I think I will go Zeo in the near future. I want to still upgrade & tweek the set-up of my system & add more live rock (correction; replace some of my !@#$ rock with some cherry-grade).

I have been using the Fauna marin Ultra lithe system for about 8 months now. I have gotten pretty good color and growth off it. I would suggest trying it or atleast considering it. I believe it is very similar to Zeo but with less additives.
Here is the manual for the ultra lithe system. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=35955

Reason: to many additives in ZEO system, UL is simpler. I did see good colors and growth with UL ZEO just too sensitive and more complicated. However i think these to products are very similar and because our tanks are SOoooo different there is really no way to say what is the best. I will keep ZEO for 6 month and the decide. OA is a long way from me so this is the only reason i will stay with Zeo for now. .
