I was wondering if Prodibio will work for me.. In the past I neglected my aquarium (cuz I travelled twice for a month) And now I'm seeing all the consequences.. I can't seem to lower my Nitrates... They're around 20-25ppm and my phosphates are at 0.03 (Hanna) I don't have hair algae but I keep getting diatoms mostly on my sandbed and sometimes on my LR... I don't know what to do anymore.. I vacuum my sand once a week and change 15% of the water (RO/DI-0ppm) The tank is in my room and it's quite depressing seeing a nice tank where I've spent lots all brown

90g Tank - SWC 160 skimmer, No CUC only 4 nassarius and 1 fighting conch.

Fish:
Yellow Tang
Tailspot Blenny
Yasha Goby
Cherub Angel
Black Perc
False Perc

Thanks in advance.

Few things, to help

Get some sand sifters and increase your clean up crew count this will help.

Do a few good sized water changes

Add GFO until you get your P04 below 10ppm

At same time (after water changes) start using ProdiBio BioClean.

After 6 weeks and when PO4 is at 0 start using reefbooster.

Thanks for the help tho, my phosphates are at 0.03ppm with my hanna metter, or is 0.03ppm a little to high? I'm only having problems
with the nitrates.
What kind of CUC should I get? And what kind of sand sifters? I know nothing
about the CUC and Since I vaccum my sand once a week I'm scared that I'll vacuum out my CUC
Do you think my nitrates will affect the CUC? I don't want to buy them and then see them die

you wont need to vaccum so regularly if you get a fighting conch.

they are the DYSON Vaccums of the CUC world.

google sandsifting gobies for your fish options

I have had a number of requests on not being able to get ProdiBio at the LFS. I have spoken to Aqua Digital

1. Please contact by PM/email Aqua-Digital and inform them which LFS you are buying the product from and they will see that the product get to the LFS
2. There is stock in supply except for the reef kits....but that should be fixed very soon
3. If you can get the product at all I am sure Aqua Digital can help you out.
or post in the forum about your concerns

Thanks Wayne,

Yes as said above there is absolute no reason why any LFS should not have stock the only shortage has been on the "starter" reef kits but this comes back in mid next week finally after 6 weeks.

So feel free to pm or email where you are having trouble with supply and we will rectify this. and if you need to fast i will personally arrange to get it to you via your LFS directly from us drop shipped.
