General thoughts on ZEOvit system?

[reef_doug]

I'm thinking of of setting up ZEOvit in a 180g mixed reef tank and would like to know the pros and cons.

I would like to acheive: clear water, good coloration on SPS, and fast coral growth.

For clear water, which would be better Ozone or ZEOvit?

Is it ok to have a Refugium while using ZEOvit?

I have 180lbs LR, would this be ok and just use the ZEO pebbles in a reactor?

Is a calcium reactor needed or recommended while using ZEOvit?

Estimated startup cost?

Thanks
Doug

I used it for awhile and saw no improvements in my tank.I'm not bashing it in anyway,people do see great results with it.I dose sugar and vinegar and get great results getting Nitrates and Phosphates down.My water is crystal clear also.I just tested my water tonight with my orp meter and it was at 311.You'll get mixed results about Zeo.I suggest do alot of research and decide if it's for you.You can have a Refugium with Zeo and you have to watch your calcium levels with it too,it drops pretty quick.Good luck whatever you decide
