I used:Sponge Power
Coral Vitalizer
Pohls Extra
Coral Snow

My water was very clear and I had a lot more sponges. I did notice that the day after every dose of Pohls Extra I would get a tiny spot of red cyano show up. I have not used Zeovit for a few years now other than Coral Snow when I remember. Which is maybe 1 or 2 times a month. I think Zeovit products are too expensive for me to use and I'm not a "struggling student".

Haha yup
I would probably still be using all I mentioned but the Pohls if I didn't have to order online. It adds too much to the cost in my case.

Well, I bought mines from JL sale so it was not as high (20% off + free shipping) as I posted in my calculations. Alongside, each batch would last me a year so I can restock on my birthday (which is around the zeovit fall sale time)

I think the biggest problem is comming off zeo or missing some dosages. It's way way more intense and time consuming. U can really leave your tank for a week pluse on zeo. I used both and like prodibio the best. Your not going to get results from anything in a month. And ontop of that I find not all corals do well in a ulns.

On a 70g system you should dose 1 vial of bio digest and 2 vials of bioptim. 1 vial of bio digest is good till 250g. All in all it costs you less than a pack of darts a month to run it.

Nop. The batch I bought had 1 vials of biodigest (and 1 vial of biotim) for every 50 gallon. Like I was saying, prodibio is confused about their own dosing recommendation

Yah it costs less than a pack of darts but zeo costs about $1 less than that (according to the calculation I posted above). With prodibio, it would be like...hmm....how much should I dose with the new batch....(and have to look at the back).

I bet you got the nano reef kit. I also double checked the boxes. Bio digest 1 vial for 30 to 250g and bioptim 2 vial for 50 to 100g.
