Zeo tanks

[Whatigot]

I have sure seen some really nice zeo tanks, but usually they are run by very serious reefers who would have a really nice tank if they still used an undergravel filter.

I find that 9/10 times, I read a comparison only to find out it was paid for or funded by zeo or one of the zeolikes....

the rest of the time, its not definitive.

if it really works as advertised and you really are that much better off with it, I'll take it.

Zeowatch it is, can't wait to see which side of the coin comes up.

I've run Zeo for 3 year now. I'm currently getting a bad ALK fluctuation under control so I've have some issues, but those are my fault not Zeovits.

As most Zeovit threads tend to get into Flame wars I tend to keep quiet.

so, specifically, in your own opinion, what are the things that have kept you buying zeo products for 3 years Jason?

[Jason McK]

I've never registered any Phosphates, or Nitrates. I've never had any nusance algae, and I believe that I'm getting the best possible colours from my SPS

[Whatigot]

and you attribute all of that largely to zeovit?

how long did you have this system before you switched to zeo?

[Jason McK]

I started Zeovit just after the tank finished cycleing, before I transfered my corals over from my old tank.

In every other system I have run I've always had low levels of Nitrate and Phosphates. That required Phosban reactors and denitraters to lower them to comfortable levels. Zeovit does not require these items and actually recommends they not be used

I have been running zeo dosing since november and full zeo since the start of january and have had nothing but great results. A lot of "dormant" SPS have shown new growth and colors have improved.

On a downside other than the cost of the zeo product for dosing, my calc/alk dosing has gone up but I use 2 part form bulkreef so cost on that is pretty low.

The biggest advice I can give is, if your currently a lazy param tester than ZEO isn't for you. If your params are not kept in check, ZEO will crash your system. This is why there are so many novice reefer posts on their forums about how "ZEO" crashed their reef and how it's ZEO's fault and not theirs.
