Default who uses it BIO DIGEST
Has anyone using the Bio digest for the tanks I was looking at something like that for LPS tanks and my clams. I have no SPS other then a penny size puddle of a acro that is on my rock.

and what one for a 250 gal tank .

Is it any good?
Is it expensive?
How long does it last one package?
which one for LPS tank?

i use it for my 50 gallon. its pretty good at taking down the nutrients. one vial of the old formula (which im using) is good for up too 250 gal for a two week period. You would normally alternate between biodigest and bio tipm every week to keep the cultures up but i think the dosing for tipm is one vial/50gal.

box of 30 vials will run you about 60 bucks
