I have used the reef booster product and it has really increased the overall color and growth of all of my corals. Robsreef.com is a 20 minute drive from my house so I gave it a try about a month and a half ago...I am putting way more reefbooster than I am suppose to be dosing because they come in "GLASS" tubes (ampoules) and can't easily be saved for later use. The company states you can stick one end into a potato and save it that way but I decided to use a whole tube. You can read more about the stuff on his site forum....

Ive been using biodigest, trace and booster for 5 months now and remain impressed. O no3 and po4 - no algae - great Polip extention and coloration is much improved.

I'm going to switch to Zeo basic 4 in a month or so to compare both systems.

Here are a couple of before /after pics. The first in Nov 05 before and the second 6 weeks later

Cheers

Simon

Wow! Nice pink coloring! How long did you have it before dosing with Prodibio?

Hi RB - he just happens to live there - actually retired and married to a Norwegian who still works in Oslo now and again.

Here are some pics of my prodibio tank - like I say, no where near as good as Iwans, but its arround 32 weeks old.

Cheers

Beautiful coloring Simon! Only 32 weeks old?? Wow! How long did you cycle? Did you cycle the tank with prodibio? Is that a ceramic reef or just a big hunk of rock? Looks fabulous!

Thanks Cj and RB

The tank was 10 weeks old when I discovered Iwan's method and started dosing prodi. Arround 40kgs came from my old tank at week one and I used all 180ltrs water from the old tank so it didnt really need to cycle although there was th eusual algae succession.

The rock on the back wall is made from fiberglass - as I wanted as much free swimming space as possible ans space for some caves and islands. Its blended in quite well with the LR now as coraline algae corals sponges and polips have grown all over.

Here's the story on a British forum which shows how I attached the fibreglass. http://www.reefpark.net/forums/index...howtopic=14927

Cheers

Simon

That's a pretty cool idea with the fiberglass. I've never heard of that. Is that what they use in some of the public aquariums in order to make the display interesting until natural coralline takes over?
