So basically, Zeovit is another way to spend the money and can get a great results same as other methods.

Think thats a bit harsh, it has it's uses especial in mature tanks. It does from my experience remove most things but it only appears to consume mg, potassium etc to a limit, i.e. its removal abilities become depleted until you add or replace it but it does continue to remove nirate.

Yes Hornet that is correct. It is just another type of system but requires more attention and a little more money if you are looking for those kinds of results. It is a very nutrient deficient system that produces extraordinary colors in corals.

but the AO doesn't require that much work or at least Zeolith's products have their labels om them so we know what we are dumping into our tank. Another thing that if we contact with those chemical, how should we clean up. OK, go back to to potassium issue, I was told to dose around 10ml/day, but I dosed tripple dosage but hardly see the K+ went up. Then we asked can we used KCL, they said not safe. what the heck, we don't know what in that K-B bottle. They don't even explain why the K+ is so defiency in Zeo tank. I still run the zeo until or the snake oil runs out then I switch over to natural method. But heck, I learn some thing at least.

Take a look at TOTM's over time. Amazing tanks, very few use zeolite or other additive-heavy systems. Steve Weast, Cward, KevinPo, JB NY [many more out there] ... all phenomenal Acro-dominated tanks, none seem to rely on this methodology. [one of the above http://www.cnidarianreef.com/] What more proof would be needed? Maybe I'm colorblind, but I don't see that huge a difference between the results these guys get vs. folks using zeolite/probiotic systems. From my view, there are many other proven methods. Problem is, it's hard to sell devotion to water quality, good flow, strong export, significant import/feeding, and patience.

Unless I missed something, the only PROVEN method is good husbandry which many of these "methods" incorporate into thier regieme and act as if it's a major breakthough.

my point is if you can keep your tank is close to NSW, your corals will look good.

Chris see's thousands of corals a week so if he is can be totally impressed by a zeovit tanks then i say there must be something to this stuff...
Doesn't that make it seem unnatural, if they are so much more colorful than corals from the ocean?

Well I'm non-zeo and I ordered up a potassium test kit just to throw away my money, err I mean to to check and see what my levels are!
 I hope they're low so I can justify the test expense! If they are, in goes the KCl which I already purchased just in case. If not it makes a good salt substitute.

I'd go with Randy's DIY two part. It raises potassium level's.

Randy's DIY two-part does not use potassium bicarbonate or potassium chloride
