Talking New Reviewer required apply within

Hey guys,

Well its been a while and we are at it again

We are looking for a new reviewer to demonstrate the effectiveness of Ultra Bio and Ultra Life at lowering/reducing/clearing cyano (the dreaded red stuff)

So to qualify we need someone with Cyano please send me some pictures of your tank and the worst case will get the review kit

I've got cyano, but don't really want my tank to turn into a guinea pig :P

Dont worry this is not a new product it has been around for years in Europe and already successfully sold in canada by many of our dealers.

The purpose of the review is to demonstrate to users how it works not if it works.

Ultra Bio is part of the Ultra lith system and has many functions away from the Lith system itself. The Ultra Life is a binding agent that removes high bio loads from the tank

and page 8 of the manual-

Cyanobacteria:
The combination of UltraBio and UltraLife are a very effective treatment against cyanobacteria in reef tanks. Cyanobacteria form red films or carpets which can cover the entire decoration. They are good indicators for a misbalance between nutrients. An addition of UltraBio and Ultralife will reactivate the growth of a healthy and diverse bacterial population by balancing out the nutrients.

Better than it was but it always comes back. I will do a review if you would like as soon as it gets bad again. Would this product affect diatoms at all? I am constantly battleing those as well in both my tanks.

Hi

Yes it will/should reduce diatoms as you are lowering or removing best case the food source (nitrate and Po4).

If you can post here two things

1. nitrate reading
2. heat tested PO4 (heat a sample of tank water to 80oC and allow to cool for 5 mins, then test for PO4)

Poor pics but the bottom and a good portion of the live rock have persistent cyano problems, set up is certainly worthy of looking better than it does now.







I would be more than happy to trial anything that will help make it look better, thanks.

I bet in a month, my 150 will be starting the Cyano. Just like the 45 did. Battled it for a year.
