Anyways, I started dosing the prodibio last night and the skimmer went crazy. The initial nitrate test was not as bad as I had expected. I must admit that I have been overfeeding the past couple of weeks so I expected high nitrates. I was also having a minor problem with my skimmer pump so I had unplugged it for 2 days before starting the prodibio. Initial nitrate test was between 20-30. I cleaned out the skimmer last night and emptied about a pint and a half of very wet skimmate about 14 hours later.

WOW... I usually dump about a gal a week of that junk. My little Jebo is out preforming units several times more expensive.

A gallon a week seems like a lot to me and I skim pretty wet. How dark is your skimmate? Mine is usually a tea color. It is much lighter after dosing the prodibio.

Here is the price list - http://www.robsreef.com/Merchant2/me...ry_Co de=prod

I just started prodibio yesterday so it is way too early to see the results, if any.

It looks like to me the Bio Trace would help with a cycling tank. What do you think?
