Found this on Prodibio.

"BioPtim
This is your carbon source as found in many other ULN systems. The difference is again you only dose every two weeks. BioPtim contains a multitude of essentials additives for feeding the bacterial colony in your system and in doing so lowering your nitrates and PO4 levels."

Hmmm. Im still going to start with the Zeo carbon source product however. In addition to my Prodibio.

Maybe but I have trouble with adding a unknown about of "carbon source" to the system. Any other carbon driven tank is a daily requirement

I don't believe that is bryopsis. For those that are combatting it, the Tech M does work. It took me two attempts before I was successful. It didn't kill it, but it stopped it from returning when I weeded it, so I feel that it worked!

Just FYI, the guy that made the Tech M "proprietary" blend also made the Brightwell stuff, and so both are alleged to work. There is some ingredient in them that isn't found in bulk products, and so generally, the bulk stuff doesn't work well in dealing with bryopsis.
