Aquaforest probiotic method

[brisco]

my mistake 0.5 Nitrates is the correct number. Prior to using Nitroguard Phosphate and Nitrate were higher....which is why I started on it, I also wanted to increase the bioload.

I battled cyano with lights out, lots of water changes, filter socks daily etc. It came back so just nuked it with Chemiclean 2 days ago. Everything is looking good in the tank now, except the skimmer is still in overdrive...but I hear that takes a while sometimes. I still have the dinos thought. I can stir up my sand and vac it so it is nice and white and in 10 minutes (not exaggerating) you can see it starting to turn brown. I am considering Hydrogen Peroxide now.

Doesn't sound like probiotic salt is a magic solution for my problems.

I have dinos too. I was in denial before thinking it was some crazy diatoms that just wouldn't go away, but the moment I seen the slimy bubbles I knew

I'm debating to just remove my sand bed, as that is the only thing it is affecting. My rocks are perfectly 'clean'

Hi,
Which vendor sells the aquaforest lineup?

Im in edmonton if anyone sells it local, I didnt see one on their website though.

Also, how many dosing pump heads will I need? I know I need 3 for the 1,2,3 can I Mix the other stuff like probiotics into one container? Im out of town all week and can not dose 1 drop every other day unless I can dose it.

Until they get a [better] Canadian distributor, you can only find them on Amazon Canada.

I stand corrected. Perhaps their Canadian distributer isn't as useless as was reported. Thanks Derek.

News to me too. They don't list the Aquaforest salt mixes though. I've never ordered from Aquarium Depot, have you guys dealt with them before?

[ramasule]

No salt or components 123 everything else though.

Never dealt with them. But they carry NP Pro 50ml for $35 where amazon does not.

Amazon is probably the best option for everything, but they are possibly an alternative to those products not listed or out of stock on amazon
