This page will be to document the effects of Prodibio on my reef tank. I’m doing it here instead of starting a new thread on a moderated forum, because those threads have a tendency to get shut down for one reason or another, and I don’t want it to be viewed the wrong way. Not selling, not promoting, just using & noting the effects on my tank.
I ordered a 30 ampule pack of Prodibio Bio-Clean Marine, and a 30 pack of Reef Booster from Aquarium Specialty. For a small tank, it isn’t that expensive with bi-weekly doses.
Plan to start dosing Prodibio’s bacteria / carbon sources (Bioclean and Bioptim) on 11/1/07. That should give me plenty of time to figure out my starting schedule and take some ‘before’ shots. So, let’s see. If it works, it works. If not, won’t be the first time I’ve wasted money in this hobby.

Hi, Felix, thanks! Great reminder – Totally forgot about this post, I suppose it’s due time for some updated shots lol. For some reason my photo gallery quit working. I’ve added more water volume in a 2nd display / refuge and corals have grown very nicely since I started this blog / prodibio / ultralith, etc. Aside from a Duncanopsammia colony, I’ve gotten rid of all large polyped stonies,they were taking over the tank. Also got rid of the eggcrate lol.
