Prodibio BioKit - Will start on Monday evening
- Thread starter dobly_1999
- Start date
I am merely referencing what they state on their website...
http://www.prodibio.fr
The entire principle behind this product is keeping the beneficial bacterial level up in your aquarium ecosystem... If you think you have a better chance of keeping the bacteria alive in a broken ampoule in the refrigerator, then I think you should cut it in half... I dose one ampoule BioDigest one week and another ampoule BioOptim the next... But I am using this on a 80g system... Once I decide it is worthwhile, I might try it on one of my larger systems and dose one BioDigest every other week and BioOptim Weekly... I'm not confident that once the ampoule is broken that I can keep the remaining dose active... I'm not saying I can't be convinced otherwise, I'm just saying, that untill I am convinced otherwise, I will stay on the conservative side... lol

Sea Urchin
Sea Urchin
A buddy suggested that place a sea urchin in the tank to clean the green stuff on the rocks. Oh my god, the urchin is cleaning the rocks. It has been clean for a week and one rock is completely clean of the green slime. I am going to place 2 more in the tank to clean it and return them when they have cleaned the rocks.

I have pictures of the results of the first urchin.
This is a picture of the rock area before the urchin
The area of interest is the lower right section
Here is the result for one week with one urchin:

I use several of each every 2 weeks, so i wouldn't need to save any half used amps, I was just referring to taking the dosage 2 amps digest and 8 amps optim and doing 1 and 4 each week instead of 2 and 8 every 2 weeks.
I'll follow that link, thanks for posting it

do you use the large size? at MACNA 07 they had huge vials for big tanks.
might save you some money.

I use the "Pro" amps for the optim and te reefboster.
Basically they cost $10 each, if you buy 10 small amps (same amount) it costs $13 so its a good savings if you need about 10 amps. The biggest thing is it's much faster to dose
Anyway I saw them at MACNA as well and talked him out of half a dozen "samples" and then finally this year they came to the US through Marine Depot.

The first Urchin pic looks like Lytechinus Variegatus the green pincushin urchin from the Caribbean. I did a lot of work with these and Tripneustes ventricosus in Jamaica as an undergrad doing population studies. The second pic isn't the same urchin it is definitely a tuxedo probably Mespilla Globulus a very common urchin in the trade.
