Vibrant by UWC testing

And then I found this very interesting strand with what looks like bacteria moving up and down it. Seems to be wrapped around or attached to a piece of algae.

Then an ostracod came along and messed it all up.

It will be nice experiment if you had a lot of algae to see the before and after picture. More or less more of the commercial bacterial formulations , claim the same things, except the effect at algae, this product claim.

But I will be very interested to see what will happen, when you finished your experiment of watching the positive effects of dosing this product, sto p dosing it and return to your previous routine.

 

[jason2459]

I was happy to see any hair algae in my tank. I haven't seen any in a very long time.

 

[jason2459]

Day 7 2x doses @ 40ml total

Will dose the 3rd dose of 20ml tonight.

Didn't notice really any change tonight

 

[jason2459]

Day 8 3z doses @ 60ml total

Seems some receding has occurred. Glass film algae is coming back daily it seems where normally I have to clean it off every 2-3 days.

Next, 4th, dose is Wednesday

 

[jason2459]

Sort of by request but taking the request a step further

Clarify your dose, you are doing 3 per week? Started treatment today tank is fairly clean so I'm no poster child for advertisement but have some bryopsis and a random patch of cyano

Following the dirty directions on the bottle so 2x per week. I'm dosing Sunday and Wednesday.

 

[drtrash]

Any issue if you over dose, I miss read direction and added double first dose

Following the dirty directions on the bottle so 2x per week. I'm dosing Sunday and Wednesday.

The dosing on my bottle says 1 dose per week for dirty tanks, 1 dose per 2 weeks for cleaner tanks.

Probably not but you may see a pH drop.

The dosing on my bottle says 1 dose per week for dirty tanks, 1 dose per 2 weeks for cleaner tanks.

Ha! I guess I never read the actual bottle. I was following what the UWC rep was telling people in another thread for those with dinos or really "dirty water" what ever that means. It's really not that much of a dose and doubt it hurts besides wasting more product I guess.

I glanced at the bottle and saw there was a dirtier aquarium directions and assumed he was talking about that.

 

[drtrash]

So I 2x treatment, will take a look at ph and watch

On their other thread they claim you can OD on it, but I'm sure if you dumped a whole bottle in some funky things may happen.

I did my second dose last night. Doing Friday and Monday dosing. GHA is already starting to recede where I had let it grow long. The brown stuff its harder to tell doesn't look like its been affected yet. I have some red algae on a frag plug that also isn't affected yet.

 

[jason2459]

Day 8 3doses @ 60ml total

Seems about the same maybe will have to compare pictures

Glass after cleaning last night

And back to needing cleaning tonight

 

[rhinonm]

Ive used this stuff for my Dino infestation. Dinos so bad they would cover sps frags in a few days and kill them. I have been dosing for 1+ months now @ 2x per week. Dinos aren't 100% gone but are 95% gone... good stuff..

 

[jason2459]

Opps that's day nine above
