You NEED Zeo products to have colorful SPS - it's a fact
Absolute rubbish. Zeo is just another product to be used a tool to help cleaning the tank of nutrients, there are many others like fauna marin, prodibio.

These products work on using bacteria to clean the tank, something that has been done for 20 years or more,

All zeo is, is bacteria and a food source for the bacteria to grow. so they multiply and clean your tank. in simple terms.

Zeo does not tell you what is in the bottles as it creates a perception that it is something special, good marketing.

I know this is a thread on Zeo and is suppose to have pics, currently I'm using ultralith by Fauna Marin and have been doing so for about 2 months or so. Colours on my sps tank were fair before I started and I thought after reading the stuff about expelling zoo on the coral and yabba yabba yabba that the coral was going to be brighter. Well there is some truth behind it but I would say that the stuff in the bottles smell much like vinegar. Anyhow I'm not exactly sure why we buy the zeolith rock other than a place where bacteria can feed and grow why couldn't they grow on biorings or inside biorock. I would suggest this if you want to try it for yourself, first off instead of buying the reactor try using a canister filter, if you buy one used you'll save some money there. So basically all you start with is a bottle of the so called bacteria some zeolith rock and the canister filter. After this go get yourself a bottle of the cleanest purest vodka available, sugar and vinegar then add a little of each ingredient every other day and see what results you achieve. If I only knew this before I would've saved about $100 bucks on the extra additives, anyhow seeing as I dosed minimal from the start and dose even less now things are going great. And what algae problem ahahhahah corals look awesome and PE is like excellent aswell if I had a sharp camera I would post some pics but because I don't, I feel embarresed to post blurry out of focus pics. Although upon digging through photobucket I managed to find a few pics that a freind took with an slr, 1 thing I will add is that corals do appear alittle lighter or paler now than before I started the product.

A cheaper or poorman Zeo method. It's a good read if you have the time.

You dont need to add the zeolite at all. it is just added to help the cleaning process.
zeovit will work without the zeolite as the bacteria is the partthat breaks down the waste.
