Early observations: Vodka Dosing. Cyano?

[slow_leak]

I thought Reef Booster was Omega 3 fatty acids and Amino Acids and Bioptim was trace elements. I got 30 pack for 15 and it 'hinted' it was trace elements.

How could adding carbon source every 2 weeks be effective, based on recommendations if Bioptim is a carbon source

Reef booster has Phospholipide, Aminosäuren, meerestypische Fettsäuren, Vitamine, Carotenoide.
Phospholipids, amino acids, omega-3 marine fatty acids, vitamins, carotenoids...

As for the Bioptim it is a food source for the bacteria which if I am not mistaken acts the same as vodka.

Bioptim was intended to be used with bio digest to remove waste. Some people do not like the fact that you dose every 15 days and prefer to dose MB7 so they can do it daily with Vodka instead of.

Anyhow if your looking to get rid of your cyano. Keep your tank clean and if your adding bacteria turn off your UV sterilizer so you don't kill them. I would also not dose as much vodka as you do regularly until your cyano is in check.

I found if you push through it and when you stabilize the dosing the cyano goes away....and FWIW, a little cyano is actually a "good" thing as you know there is not a nutrient limitation and therefor giving the corals all they can uptake.......
