ZEOVit or not to ZEOvit?

I also run half-assed Zeo like Christy and many other people. Like many things in life, I could never bring myself to commit to the whole thing. I guess my wife should feel special.

is that the same as the NP Pellets everyone is using? or different? cheaper? better?

I run the full ZEO system, minus the zeolites... I removed the zeolites shortly after starting to run the NP Bio Pellets. Now I am running 3Litres in my tank with the rest of the zeo system.

With particles, as you are talking about, I would look at your filtration. Are you running filter socks? if not, this would help to remove alot of particles from the water.

Bio Pellets are a means of assisting in the lowering of nitrates, etc.. Also they assist in the clarity of your water.

Zeo is just another way of enhancing coral growth and color, but as stated by others, it isn't cheap.

My recommendation would be to use filter socks, and maybe try the BioPellets... I do like them myself.

GFO is totally different than the NP pellets. I have no first-hand experience with the NP pellets, but I have seen enough tanks running them and read enough to not be impressed. I wouldn't put them in my tank.

Just wonder, could the particles that you seen be very tiny air bubbles?
