![]() Sorry to hear of your troubles but glad to hear that things are recovering.
You mentioned Prodibio Startup, I was trying to look for more info on this, on the FAQ page they mentioned being able to add livestock within hours of adding this - I take it this is assuming established live rock is used - curious what the recommendation is for new starts starting up that have used mostly (or exclusively) dry rock (which would require more time for bacterial colonization, no?)

![]() the info is not related to live rock being used, however start up will rapidly colonies any bacterial media, this includes of course dry rock.
I used it due to my tank sitting stale for 3 days to beat any nutrient spikes before they happened, specifically ammonia. I am now back to my regular prodi dosing. |

so you dose start up once and then continue with the normal prodibio procedure (biodigest,biotipm, etc)? |

![]() If its a new tank yes, or if adding some uncured rock to a new system also. Start Up will speed up the curing process of live rock also.
