Wayne, you will love PRODIBIO. THE REEF SHOPPE stocks and uses it in-house too. We have had great success with it as have our customers with new and old reef tanks. A few good noteworthies here are that most of the product needs to be dosed weekly or bi-weekly, no bulky reactors and it cannot be overdosed unlike the zeo. I just wish that we had access to the big ampules for larger systems. Enjoy!!!

Starts Today.....
I have acquired a few coral colonies from the local stores. These will serve as controls( they haven't had any contact with ultra) during the trial. My tank system basically has 400 l of free water, so it is two vials every 2 weeks. Snapping glass vials with the rubber tube included is not safe enough for me. Just subbed that with something stiffer

Thanks for sharing Wayne, I will be following along too. I have also been considering the Prodibio line, but I won't start until spring. Thanks for being our Guinea Pig!

How is the cost for the Probdibio products you bought? How long do you expect the vials you have to last? I have seen these in bwa before but never thought much about it.

I will post final cost in a few months when this the tank is stable with Prodbio.
Right now at the start: based on 400 litre system and 2 week dosing cycle
The retail cost works out to 2.00 / vial
7 vials used each cycle = 14.00

OOPs I used and extra vial of Biodigest....

i think the pack with 30 vials runs you about 60 dollars each. one vial of biotipm per 50gal and 1 vial bio digest per 250 gal (i think)every two weeks (old formula, not sure about the new) and a vial of reef booster every week per 100gal. not sure about the stroni and iodine
