yep this is true, we do not stock the nano seperate supplements as it simply is a false economy, instead adjust your dosing to once every 20 days instead of once every 14 days.

The nano bio reef kits are available however.

Here are some random shots
-The one thng I did change was when it came to carbon/gfo changes they were done a week ahead/after the additiion of Prodibio
-skimmer and carbon pumps are turned off for 12 hrs after the addition of Prodibio
- I am considering water changes from 10% to 15% every two weeks
- I am increasing the size of the frag tank so I will be increasing to dosage of bacteria to 2 vials

This was Flash's brown coral

This is the frag offered as a prize in the 1st Annual Reefers Pie Contest

Note the growth at the top of this stag. It is close to the surface and is in direct path of a hydor current

This is for Myka...it is usually powder blue

How would I use this if I only have a small amount of coral now and want to go to a full out reef tank in the future. I dont want to do this the wrong way as Ive seen too much money and lives(coral) lost when people just throw 394839 corals in at once.

At the moment im down to a leather.. green star polyps and kenyaii. 125g tank with AquaLight Pros 72" 150W... got the lights for free.

It is impossible to overdose prodibio, so start as your would with any system

1 vial for every 50 gal of water every two weeks other than bio digest which is one vial per every 250 gal

Should I run this for a few weeks before adding anything?
Skimmer always be turned off for the dosing for 6-12hrs?

This depends on yoru current nutrient load

PO4
NO3

also you need to make sure your mineral levels are correct

DKH - 7-8
MG - 1280 -1350
Ca - 380 - 430

But my concern is you said you had lost a lot of sps, if this was due to a pathogen then Prodi will not stop the same pathogen coming back for a second course.
