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.

I've been using Zeo since december, and happy with the results. At first I lost a real nice staghord, but I think it is because pattasium was low, 275ppm. Coarls do die off if pramitors are off in non-zeo tanks too. About three weeks ago work got out of hand and I didn't have time to check the tank, and lost about four coarls, because my KH was about 6.0 to 6.5. It took me four day the bring my KH up to 8.0. The Zoe is working great so far, if I can keep the water changes up and dosing up.
I'm going to give it a good year or more before I make up my mined.
If you have a problem with puslezing zena it will clear that right up for you.
I've hard it's best to start a tank with Zeo that switch over to Zeo on an older tank. My tank was about year and half old when I started.
