I do the water change a few days before adding Prodibio.

cool...! I just started prodibio today on my tank and did a 30% water change this afternoon and when I was done and everything was back on I added all the elements in the kit except reefbooster !

Update May7
It has been about 1 month since the last update:
Here are the changes
1. new lights on tank ( subbed out the actinics for 454 nm t5's)
2. Skimz 202E has been in service for just over one month...noticable difference in water clarity. I used to shut thee skimmer off for 5 hours after adding reef booster but now it is more like 12 hrs

The coral colours are still vibrant but some of the green slimers have lost there colour. This could be due to the recent change to new bulbs resulting in bleaching or lack of iron which is not part of the Prodibio system. I have also had an algae outbreak but it is mostly gone. This is definitely due to the new lights. I still see good growrth in the corals with many new buds on the surface of the arcos. One thing is the deep water arcos are responding better to Prodibio in terms of growth and colour.
I will add more comment later.....................

Hey guys. I was thinking about starting the prodibio system, but I am curious if it could be ran in conjunction with bio pellets?

I attempted to run the Vertex pellets in the same system as the Prodibio...I won't say for sure if it was the pellets fault but three days after introducing 300ml (aprox) pellets (soaked in rodi for about 72hrs prior) in a TLF reactor I saw a huge algae bloom both on the glass and rock work...I let the pellets run for another 2 weeks as such before removing them. A week after the removal, including a 25% WC and Prodibio dose, the algae was almost gone.

i ran them in conjunction. I didn't use any of the trace additives though and i had been running biopellets for a while before hand. I still noticed what others have seen in regards to color enhancement. I still followed the six weeks/dose of biodigest/ biotipm before adding any reefbooster to my system.
