Possible To Use Prodibio To Speed Up Cycle?
 
I am restarting my tank since a ant spray crash, and starting over with dead rock and sand. The question is, I have ALOT of extra prodibio biodigest and bioptium. Any way to speed up my cycle with it? Like dose every day like the Zeovit system?

You can use Pro-bio start up,thats what it's ment for.

once you use that stuff you need to add fish shortly after or all the bacteria you have created will have nothing to feed off of and just die.

Why?
Why would you add a 'chemical' to your tank?
Throw in a dead shrimp wait for your sand to populate with all the critters that you coral and fish like.

Wait for the rock to populate with feather dusters, worms, minute encrusting coral and other things and start covering itself with coralline algae.

And when your tank has finished it's cycle, wait a month and add your first fish.
