Functions are usually composed with @ or @: ;
juxtaposition works only if the desired composition
is a hook or a fork.  Thus instead of
   =/ /:~ each ": each <"0 (>:i.6)*]
you need to say
   =/@:(/:~ each)@:(": each)@:(<"0)@:((>:i.6)*])

The number of "each"es can be reduced as follows:
   =/@:(/:~@:": each)@:((>:i.6)*])

=/ is not the right thing to do to compute 
"whether they are all the same".  Instead, do
   1&=@:#@:~.@:(/:~@:": each)@:((>:i.6)*])

On the face of it, f y would be 1 only if y is 0
and is 0 otherwise.  Perhaps you mean something
other than "whether they are all the same".

   f=: 1&=@:#@:~.@:(/:~@:": each)@:((>:i.6)*])
   f"0 i.20
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
   I. f"0 i.2000
0
