We have used it here for about 9 months now. I've noticed good results and will continue using it.

Prodibio is a decent ULN system. Its much more forgiving than zeo is, so it is great for people who don't have a lot of time to tweak or space to run the reactor.

Having used it myself for a short while I did notice a slight improvement in colors and growth in my sps corals.

However, if you want the crazy pastel colors and the like, it won't come close to what zeo can do.

However, since you have a mixed type reef, an ULN system may not be for you as some corals need the higher nitrate levels to grow and thrive.

That being said, there are various additives out there you can use without having to go with a full zeo or prodibio system. KZ coral vitalizer, reef fuel, sponge power, etc will still help without using the full system.

Thanks Harvey, I'm mostly looking to bring the colors up by bringing the zoox down so to speak. I understand (i think) that this means in my case that I need to lower the nutrients? I am slowly getting rid of the softies any way and trying to go full sps with the odd zoa mixed in. I realize zoas like nitrates etc but i have 0 in my system and they still do well.

Do you carry probido and alike in the store Harvey? I may be up on the weekend if your in store?
