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.

Can you use this system in nanos? 20g with 10g sump

Thanks for the reply cale262, I had the same experience with pellets when I first started, but month later everything leveled out, all the algae went away, nitrate and phosphate zeroed out. Now I just run a bit of rowa to keep the phosphate at zero. I was told by many other reefers who ran pellets that an algae bloom is a definite for the first couple of weeks, it really takes effect month to a month and a half after it has been running.
I guess I can give it a try and see how it goes. I will report back.

Yes, they have a kit specifically for nanos!

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.

I was wondering if Prodibio will work for me.. In the past I neglected my aquarium (cuz I travelled twice for a month) And now I'm seeing all the consequences.. I can't seem to lower my Nitrates... They're around 20-25ppm and my phosphates are at 0.03 (Hanna) I don't have hair algae but I keep getting diatoms mostly on my sandbed and sometimes on my LR... I don't know what to do anymore.. I vacuum my sand once a week and change 15% of the water (RO/DI-0ppm) The tank is in my room and it's quite depressing seeing a nice tank where I've spent lots all brown

90g Tank - SWC 160 skimmer, No CUC only 4 nassarius and 1 fighting conch.

Fish:
Yellow Tang
Tailspot Blenny
Yasha Goby
Cherub Angel
Black Perc
False Perc

Thanks in advance.

Few things, to help

Get some sand sifters and increase your clean up crew count this will help.

Do a few good sized water changes

Add GFO until you get your P04 below 10ppm

At same time (after water changes) start using ProdiBio BioClean.

After 6 weeks and when PO4 is at 0 start using reefbooster.
