MB7 + BioFuel (or Vodka) - Show Thread

Sorry about the confusion (I confuse myself all the time with this stuff)
Generally for nitrates you want to increase you carbon source which feeds the bacterial and thereby the consume NO3 but you also have cyano- bacterial which will also feed and multiply when you dose you carbon source.
Need to take a look at your export of the excess bacteria and nutrients too much of either will increase the cyano and NO3. Try doing some water changes and also what size tank and skimmer do you have?
Hopefully Sonny or other Probiotic guru's will weigh in

Thanks mate. Got some feedback from BW to use RBF @ 2ml and MB7 @ 12 drops daily and see how it goes. Also backing down on Restor and AA's.

BW seems to be good stuff, my corals have never looked better and it is entirely attributable to their stuff. Currently using neo zeo method without the stones, but may try them out in a few weeks.

It was also recommended that a nitrate reserve of 5-10 is good to help prevent disasters caused by unexpected nutrient deficiencies from occurring. To be honest, my corals seem to love it
 
Just wanted to share pics of my skimmer upgrade since moving to the MB7+Vodka Method. Completely love this skimmer. You can just kinda set it and forget it :D

FTS Update after approx. 1 month +/- on MB7+Vodka
Sandbed, Glass and LR are amazingly cleaner. Nutrients are really starting to come down!!!

Ray,
How much are you dosing ?

Forgot... Tank is looking great! I need to swing by and check this out and drop off that coral. I almost bought a K2 yesterday but waited too long to pull the plug.
Keep up the good work.
 
Thanks Andy, nice. but you your post said you use Mb7 and biofuel. i also see that you have a bubble coral. i have a mix reef of 50/50 Lps/sps tank so. did your bubble get any issue when you started dosing MB7 and biofuel?

Yeah, I've run Mb7 and biofuel the longest. I switched over to bio-pellets when WM pellets first came out about 6 months ago. I need to add more here soon, as they are disappearing. So lately I started dosing biofuel again. As for my bubble coral, I've never had any issues from dosing either MB7 and biofuel. I've had him over 4 years now. :rollface:
 
@ mrsmithers
Hey Mike, I dose approx. 20ml of MB7 2-3x a week; up to 1.2ml of Vodka daily! Yeah, we need to hookup soon...I've been so busy with work and fam.

@buganddoug
I agree...I've been through a handful of skimmers, and this one seems to fit my needs best!!!
 
I was fortunate enough to aquire it slightly used, from a local hobbyist who broke their system down for $350
 
Thanks Gary! Its starting to come along...I was dealing with a cyano outbreak after I kicked Zeovit, but I'm experiencing great results with MB7/Vodka

Tank looks unreal reefsic!

How did you decide on 40-60ml of MB7 pw, as that would seem a heavy dose? Do you have issues with brown slime from od'ing?
