What is a Zeovit reactor and what does it do. I know somewhat that it something with zeoliths bacteria and it somehow provides very stable low nutrient water conditions. Are these worth having and in anyone's experience, do you need one to keep healthy water condtions if your really into growing SPS's?

I don't use one on my SPS tank, and I feel all my corals are really growing and are colorful. That's my opinion and my tank everyone's tank is different some have problems with high nutrients and some don't. I guess I'm a lucky one without that problem 
I use just a well established refugium, sometimes my GFO reactor when needed, water changes, and 2 part dosing. Just my two cents

Never heard of it so looked into it a bit, not just a nutrients reduction system has potential to feed and adjust color of corals? The question mark is because I have no idea of the science behind it lol. Im still reading up on em, but thought I would post a neat link for basic explanation.

Im probably way off but I thought I remebered reading somewhere the that gist of it is the idea that if the nutrients in the water column are low enough the corals would rely more heavily on photosynthesis for food thereby altering or in some way increase the zooxanthellae which give the coral its color.
I'm probably wrong though and there is probably much more to it. I see many amazing sps dominated systems that are not using it so it does seem to me to be a little hyped up.
