As I answered you at Aquaforest Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1490485151247025/
I think that you didnt need to use zeolites in your tank.
Life Bio Fil is good to support microlife in tank that's why I am sure that its good alternative to your tank now.

Fair warning, it's a popular product. It sold out on BRS instantly, hopefully in-stock soon.
I'm not affiliated with AF, just a user looking for BioFil

No, you can use them separately. Zeolite has different function than biofil. Biofil is already preloaded with the beneficial bacteria so they are like live rock. The moment you put them in they start working. On the other hand the zeolite can actually serve two different purpose, they can reduce ammonia and ions along with porus substrate for bacteria housing. Zeolite are a bit tricky to use and need little tuning while biofil is like load and forget. But you need to replace biofil after every 4-6 weeks.
My tank is 150 gallons i have mainly undemanding sps and afew lps mushrooms and grandiose polyps. On jan 15 I started using the af reef salt. I also started a reactor with phosphate -, af carbon and zeomix. I have been dosing 5 drops of pro bio s and 5 drops of pro nps. My phosphstes are at .14 and nitrates sre at 2ppm. I have a bucket of af probiotic salt that i want switch to when i finish the reef salt off. I also plan to replace the zeomix with life biofil that i am adding to a new reactor. Given that my nitrates have already dropped to 2ppm should i turn off the reactor with the zeomix carbon and phosphate- now?

I would be more concerned about your PO4 than nitrate. If you close your reactor you will cut off the GFO so your PO4 will increase. Also the probiotic salt contain amino and vitamin so that will add up to your nutrient levels. I will suggest first to shift to probiotic salt with the reactor on and then observe the levels. If your levels decrease then you can turn the reactor off.
Life bio fil does not replace zeomix functionally.They have separate function. But for your purpose you can use Life bio fil you don't need zeomix.
