I use some Zeo products, some Fauna Marin and lately some Brightwell. I use the zeo/ultralith rocks in a DIY reactor, the carbon sources, bacteria, amino acids and also add some potassium. Until I started with the rocks and the carbon sources I was always battling nitrates and phosphates. Now, nothing.

Colors are very bright and growth is terrific. For about $1/day for my 200 gal. it is a very good investment IMO.

Lets not start battling, just wanted to know the ratio and so far it is about 50/50... This tells me enough people may find Zeo beneficial, but for those who don't, that is ok also.

I myself, find things very stable, great coral growth and color that I didn't get without it. I also agree, for the low cost per day, I won't stop using it.

Nah, brown corals need lovin' too However, you do NEED metal halides.

I use the reactor, sort of, when I remember to swish things around, although I have nicer colors now than I've ever had. I've seen better colors in non-Zeovit tanks (read Jamie's tank), but for me, this works.
