Update. So far no noticable negative affects. My coral seem fine. Actually, most of the corals have new growth.
2 things I have done so far, new Reeflux 12k blubs and prodibio on Monday.
I go on vacation Friday and I am thinking about adding next monday's dose on Friday after noon or wait unti I return Next Wednesday. I don't want to rush nor do I want a set-back.

By the way, no photo enhancements. I crop the photos to focus eyes on the corals.

I am planning on starting Prodibio however I dont want to add Iodi+ and Stronti+. Thus instead of buying the Probidio kit, I am planning on buying Probidio Bio Clean Marine 12 (contains 6 Bio Digest and 6 Bioptim) and Reef Booster 12. That way, it will cost less and last longer.

Ozadars, if I continue using the product I will do the same. I have large bottles of Iodi+ and Stontium around the place.

Tank lights and energy requirements to change look of corals
Tank lights and energy requirements to change look of corals
OK, I am still on the Prodibio and no negative effect so far.
One thing I have been wondering is if I am using too much light on the corals, thereby creating a more fade look to the corals color. So, I decided to change my lighting schedule. In doing so will allow me to save on energy. Here is the schedule.
9am ULV 75/25 T5 and 1 Gisesmann Pure Actinic (set 1)
11am Turn on 1 Gisesmann Pure Actinic and 1 Giesemann Actinic + (set 2)
Here is the look:
4pm Turn on 12k Reeflux 250W MH, Turn off Set 2
10PM Turn off MH
11PM Turn off Set 2, Moon lights for 1 hour
Go to bed
All T5 lights on.

What is the general cost of Prodibio?
I've been using "reef-resh" by Polyplabs since Jan 07. http://www.polyplab.com/reefresh.html
I think it's very similar to the prodibio and I have had reasonable results. If nothing else it keeps the nitrates in check.

Another reason I selected Prodibio, the ampoule are designed for 90 gallons, including sump, approx 100G. I have a 90G.

BTW, in some sites it says the kit contains Bio Digest, Reef Booster, Bio Trace, Iodi+ and stronti+ and in some others it says Bioptim instead of Bio Trace. Which one is true?
This is the one with Bio Trace

I have heard of users storing partial dosages by sticking the broken end of the ampoule in a potato 
I wouldnt do it myself...
In the case of bio-digest, I would dose the entire ampoule...but for booster, trace, etc. I would dose only the needed amount for your total volume.

There is another produce I was willing to try, but again the start-up cost was too much for me to tryout.
MarineDepot
Polyp Lab System Reef-resh Complete Kit
List Price: $249.99
You Save: $87.04 (34%)
Our Price: $162.95
I like this product since you can drop the amounts needed for your tank. I think all of this stuff is the same.
I think I will do the reefboost when the kit is complete. It is reasonable. Or I may do the vingar, sugar, volka. All depends on the results of the Prodibio.
