So just using the bio digest and bioptim what will just that do

what i really like is the description on the startup formula:

Start Up enables you to quickly introduce 1/3 of your toughest fish into your
new aquarium (after four hours for freshwater tanks and 12 hours for marine
water tanks

so in other words if they are not tough they may die.... lol

IME it will improve the coral colors, not much more than that. However, the advertising claims it will lower nutrients. I haven't seen this effect myself. I've been using Biodigest and Bioptim for 10 months or so.

At MACNA, I was watching one of the seminars and part of the discussion was Nutrients and ULNS...one of the comments was that shortly after starting Prodibio or Zeo or Fauna products like that, many aquarium owners increased their feeding for some unknown reason. Possibly because we were worried about starving the corals. I guess they noticed food was disappearing faster in their case study.
Funny how the human brain works but I wouldn't doubt that people did this for reasons they didn't even realize.

I'm on my first dose right now, but I took my numbers (they were way too high) and I will start to measure them every week for the next 3 months to see what happens.

My fish are darn near anorexic. :lol:

I don't know if lowers things or not. But I do know I was having algae issues with test readings of undetectable (phos on a hanna reader was 0). After around 6mo of dosing I didn't have problems with algae any more.

My tank is doing better than it ever has, with no other changes. I never changed feeding habits or anything else except the dosing.

PIC please Toxic

There is a FTS in the 2012 FTS thread

I'm tagging along as I just started my BioCLEAN regimen last week. 6 weeks of that then introduce the REEFBOOSTER and other vials to the mix.

what if you run cheato or other macro algaes in a sump. do you have to remove these before treatment?
