Think I am qualified to answer this (I hope )

is it jsut for SPS?
No its for all system corals and inverts including live rock fauna

Can this unit run for softies and LPs?
YES

What does it exactly do?
It is a ULN system so it lowers your nutirents as well as providing increased growth of corals and colouration as well as providing a diverse food source for your whole micro eco system

what happens if you suddenly stop?
In time your nutrients will rise and your tank will go back to pre dosing conditions, no it wont create any crash.

How much Algae do you need or do you need any?
?? None

So for a 250 gal tank-
what would it cost is it monthly or semi monthly
Start up costs too.

each 30amp kit is $59.95 for your size tank you would be dosing every two weeks

1 x Bio Digest
5 x BioPtim (or 1 x gamma size vial)
5 x Reefbooster (or 1 x gamma size vial)
same for stronti plus and Iodi+

Gamma size is $119 for 10 vials.

On a 100 gal system it comes out to about 30 / month
- you also save money on less frequent water changes...Ultra was once a week
- I have seen no problems with the softies (acans palys) in the system
- did not cause an algae bloom( my system is very seasoned )
-if you have calerupa in in your system if won't cause a die off

Some Photos taken on Feb26 with new stylus..not very good at it yet

http://s496.photobucket.com/albums/r...view=slideshow

here is a sample:



Notes:
1. If you look at the deep water corals you can see lots of new budding formations. This is true of stags. There is one clear example of this where the stag has multiple buds at the tips.
2. The pictures were shot in 15000k lighting (URL and Pheonix bulbs)
3. All the subtle colouring on the deep waters has come out since using Prodibio
