Tell me a little about your tank. I do not know the product, but once bought a bottle of vibrant as I wanted the quick fix on an algae problem and then I read a thread on here about it not being a bacterial product but an algaecide. IMO I decided to take a more natural approach. Most tanks will go through the ugly phase, but it can be lessened by following a few tried and true methods.
Consistent water changes, good filtration and skimming, adding CUC (Clean Up Crew) when appropriate (don’t add so much they starve to death), copepods and amphipods are great for algae control, and dosing live phytoplankton will nourish the pods, plus consume excess nutrients therefore competing against nuisance algae.
There is always a risk to using “chemicals” in an aquarium, and I try to use the most natural solutions.
