VSV was more expensive...I was dosing at a rate of 10ml/100gal/day. Even with the cheapest stuff I could find. As for Ultralith my dosing rate has slowed to every second day and the results are much better. I am sure this is true for zeo. Note you don't have to use all of Ultra or Zeo products to have a nice tank

Vodka - Sugar - Vinegar. The reciepe is 200ml of vodka, 1.5 tablespoons sugar and 50ml vinegar. 200 ml of vodka is under $5 and 50ml vinegar is nothing so I don't see how VSV is costing you any more that $5 for 25 days. 250ml/10ml a day = 25 days. Then once your nitrates drop you start reducing to a maintenance dose of 1-2 ml per day for a 100G tank. At 2ml per day 250 ml of VSV will last over 4 months for approx $5. Glassbox Designs has a good starting point article on VSV.

Yes they do have a starters kit as does Zeo. I think Red Coral carries both. My reactor is 1.5 l but you can get away with just hanging the zeo rock in the sump or a Phosban reactor. Just gotta to shake every other day.
Go to tank journals and search for ultralith....you find my thread there
