Default Zeolite by Korrallin

What's the opinion of the group on this method of reefing.
There are a few Aussies doing the zeolite thing now and it appears to be
going well for them so far.

I used PO4- a few years ago by these guys and I'd imagine that the
nitrogen reducing side is similar with the nutrients being bound to the
product for easier removal.
I wouldn;t say it was a long term thing for me nut I used about half a
bottle.
I ended up making myself a big skimmer and until I did this I didn't see
any real results.
I had a smaller venturi skimmer before, but it didn;t seem powerfull
enough to get any results from the PO4-.
Anyway I just wanted to ask what info others had on this method of reefing.
From my experience with their products I can;t say the results were
conclusive.
The skimmer was responsible for the drastic improvement in water
conditions IMO and the PO4- was of little help if any at all.

Comments, opinions, links etc greatly appreciated.

Simon, it is discussed on Reef Central from time to time, but I don't know much
about it at all.
