Decided I'm going to give the Brightwell Neo Zeo method a try on my 90 gal. I've ordered all the supplies and will be setting it up this weekend. I'm planning on documenting the process here. I've read all their documentation, but would love to hear and tips or suggestions from other hobbyists who've tried it. I'm also kinda wondering if anyone has combined a Zeo method with Prodibio, too....

    Zeo method involves using a bacterial and trace element additives in combination with Zeolith media (highly porous mineral stones that are populated by beneficial bacteria) to create an ultra low nutrient environment. When done correctly it results in incredible colors and growth of corals. Downside is that it requires careful monitoring and purchasing some relatively pricey additives and can cause tissue recession if done carelessly. You can learn more and see pictures at zeovit.com. Zeovit is one name brand system but I will be using the Brightwell Aquatics Neo Zeo system because the supplements are easier to find (basically the same idea, though).
