    well, im still not 100% sure what to think.
    i know from the research its is a great concept. and im sure in tanks with algae issues and excess nutrients it will help.

    what im really interested in is what it will do for me. since i dont have algae issues or any other major issues. my goal is to see what it does to the corals. research has show that people get better growth and coloration.. but we will just have to see.

    im still strong in the camp that good husbandry is the key, and no product alone will make you successful

    yeah your right about the husbandry, it would be interesting to see the overall price difference between the program & the individual elements we already add! straight off the bat im guessing the intial setup has to be absorbed, but working it on concentration rates will be factoring question.
    they have really set it up so u follow the prescription diet of dosing! i havn;'t broken the target ions down for study yet but i will pretty soon when i get more time! since i still have to set up a new tank in the future, im thinking along the lines if this program is not BS then kicking it off near the start might not be a bad idea. its hard coming off oldschool principles, but if its scientificly sound without the usual testimonal crap that comes with it, & after seeing a couple of folk on here running it, id definately look at it!

    well, most of the stuff is not stuff there would "normally" dose. there are some supplements like strontium and iodine that you can get for your system, but a majority of the system is based on certain types of bacteria, that we may get in our LR, but not in the amounts provided by this system.

    im am only using these components right now, not the supplements like iodine and strontium. i may use these in the future, but not just yet.

    once an ampoule is opened does it need to be used up immediately or can you store if for later use?

    yes

    once it's opened the product must be used that is why I plan to share dosage between my two tanks. they say over dosing is difficult but I am sure it is possable. you would lust use the closest dogage for your tank using all the contentd. that is also why Prodibio put them in such small containers

    Please let us know what products you will be dosing and if you will be using the "Reactor" bacteria (forgive me for lack of knowledge)

    I did research this a while ago and almost fell over when I tallied up the costs on my 200 gallon system. If the results are good I will re-look at it, my goals with the system would be to create a very clean water environment (no no3 or ph04).

    Very interesting none the less.

    not sure if you are confusing this with ZEOVit
    ZEO using the reactor, and is quite expensive.

    for my system about 200 gallons total water volume it cost me about $100 for all the stuff to start with, will need to replace various parts as i use them up..

    i will be starting a new thread shortly that will detail what i have, how im dosing it, and pictures of my system as i go through the process

    Yes, my bell has been rang, I talked to rob today, my system is same size, I am going to order enough for 5 months of biodigest and bioptim and see how it goes. I see Melev is using it too.

    yep,, there are a few people jumping on trying it out.
    i have about a 3 months supply, and will be reevaluation after that point as to what if anything to continue. i will likely let it go for another three months, just to give it a fair chance, but if at that point i see no results i will likely discontinue..

    only time will tell..

    I'm also very interested in finding out about what you think of the product? Would you also happen to have a link for the Zeovit system. I would like to compare and contrast them both as a next purchase.

    starting to get some die back on the macro algae, algae in the tank, though limited in the start, is about the same. coral coloration is mostly the same, i have notice some minor improvements, but not even enough to capture on the camera, im still not convinced of much

    Rob, would you happen to have the URL to the Zeovit product. I'm thinking I might test that route since your reporting very limited succes with the ProdiBio product so far.

    zeovit can be found at www.zeovit.com
    it is by far more intense and more expensive, but the results really vary.

    but hey check it out and let us know if you go with it

    I started the Biokit this morning, March 24, 2008. I have photos before I started to keep a record. I want colorful corals.
