Anyone using Prodibio? I've been thinking about trying some and wanted to hear about your experience.

Hmm sound interesting. Think I might try it. How much are they? Do you know? And how much do you have to order at once? maybe we can get a group buy order in.

My LFS is a becoming a distributor of Prodibio. He is going to contact me whenever it arrives. I have never used it before so I am curious. I was hoping maybe someone who has used it could chime in. I'm not sure how much it will cost. I'll let you know when I find out. |

Prodibio will be shipped out to the local distributor on Monday. Not sure when it will arrive but my LFS is taking pre-orders now. I'm planning to drop by there today and reserve mine. I'll be the guinea pig and let you all know about my experience.  |

Actually I asked him about that today. He said that he will have his site updated very soon.
Rob always has the best zoanthids selection at the best prices.

Went by and picked up the Prodibio from Rob's Reef today. The packaging and vials were smaller than I had expected. I used a quarter below to give a good idea of size proportion. I also got a nitrate test kit to at least try and track some of my results. I plan on doing a little tank maintenance later and start dosing later this evening. Rob said that I should get about three months worth out of what is shown below. Now on to the pictures -

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.

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.

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

I think the Bio Trace is food to help spur the bacteria growth.
Bio Digest is the actual bacteria. |
