well yesterday was my fist dosing of prodibios biodigest, bioptim, and reefbooster.
i fallowed the instructions and turned of my skimmers, uv, carbon and po4 reactors. the reefbooster made my tank super cloudy. when i turn my skimmer back on, there were no bubbles for about an hour. well there were bubbles but they just popped producing no skimmate. the next 3 hours my skimmer cup over flowed. hmmm i thought it was very strange. this morning the tank looked normal. ne whoo i will keep yall posted on how things are going.
Please post before and after pictures include the list of corals that may have been lost, or observations on corals that may have increased growth. Your observational publication will help others
yeah, u got the jump on robs thread to pham, with them running in series it should make for good reading from two sides of the coin!
hows the dosing going anyways, its been like 2 months yeah!?
mine has not progressed much.
im getting ready to get my next set of photos taken and posted.
so far no miracles (wasnt expecting any) but i have notices a slight improvement in coloration. dont know if they will show in the photos, but we will see

rob have you been using the reef booster? how does your skimmer react to it after you turn it back on?? i stopped using mines afer about a month and a half
its all about nutrient & dosing limitations, & peak bactera populations of the right sort that make up this product yeah! no all round product to date has shown immediate results, but u'd like to see something gained every quarter wouldn't u!
i do see validity claims in some of the products, and im assuming u have to turn your external extracting gear off till the super strain bactera crowd out the rest! what is it in the reef booster that particulates the tank? maybe u have to add it drip style slowly of the 12 hrs period to avoid that, whats the dirrections say?
direction says add to a cup of ro water, stir, turn off skimmer for 15 or 30 mins after adding. then add to your tank. simple enough. maybe i should try dripping with half of the recomended amout, i do drip everything else i dose. im just afraid that instead of my skimmer going nuts for a few hours, its going to go nuts the whole day if i drip it.
fyi: my def of a skimmer gone nuts:
when your euroreef cs180 adjustable arm is on its lowest setting and water is overflowing out of the collection cup, cup after cup for an hour after the first initial half hour with the skimmer off.
rob do you have this probelm? thats y i stopped using reefbooster, i only use the biodigest and biooptium. i think the bacteria is wonderfull.
Hmmm I am not noticing any great results either I had a liitle bit of nussance Algea I was hoping the prodi would deal with looks like I will have to deal with it on my own. Rob and I started almost at the same time. I ment to ask Rob how his was going at thins point I will keep using the product unless I really start to see results I am going to stop using it. why spend the money. I did get a new salt I think is well worth the money though lol.
