Anyone dose probiotics???

[Reef2Land]

Title kind of says it all. I know some more pricey salts these days say they contain probiotics and that they do this or that, but is anyone actually dosing like probiotics from a store into their tank? Besides me.

People do it..
I haven't seen any proof though that its anything more than a waste of money..

I have noticed a slight change in my "output" though when eating yogurt with probiotics

I doubt the type you can get over the counter would do any good in a saltwater environment.

I shall read further. I know it seems my tank is much more active. Good bacterium can probably play a ton of helpful roles. It's just a matter of which bacteria in which situation. I'm by no means recommending people do it lol but this tank looks freakishly good. I've been dropping Super Multidophulus from Solar Ray in it. Could just be waiting to have a meltdow, the tank that is.

Any of the probiotics over the counter is useless. You need the proscribed ones that will make an impact.

Tomato tomatoe - I think it's like some people say they work wonders and other people say they do nothing.

Would a bacteria species that is adapted to live in the human gut survive in a reef aquarium? And if so would it provide any benefit to the critters living in the tank beyond providing bacteria-eaters with more food?

Yes and maybe. It's bacteria.
