    well still debating the prodibio

    I have been battling Cyno and now byopsis I was starting to have the Byopsis problem before prodibio but neith seemed phased by my dosing I can't seem to get my Phosphates under control I have a hatch meter and todays reading was 0.34 trying phosphate removers etc. but I can't decide if I want to stick with Prodibio or not I have been told I haven't run it long enough to see the positive. I just bought a hot 350 mainly to do some polishing and to run media though I hope this helps. the byopsis seems to have dug in during the heat wave this summer.

    I actually feel as if I have less cyano since I've started, but it might also be a cumulative effect of also changing our flow to Tunze streams. The most striking difference to me was how the gorgonia opened up after I started dosing.

    the theroey that I was giving is until bio-digest has a chance to remove all the nitrates nitrits oposphates etc that using the reef booster makes it's job harder. I have been told that adding rerfbooster to early will promote algea growth mainly nusense algae. other how scentific it is not sure but that's what I have been told

    Your suppose to purify the system first, then after your algaes are gone then you start the reef booster product. If you use it and have micro algae present it will feed off the booster. I had some cyano and HA, after using bioptim and digest its gone, going to wait another 2 weeks before I start reef booster though just in case.
