That was reviewed in a thread a few mos back and we think it's marked up peroxide in a bottle
poster emailed the manuf and got a decline to state ingredients

All suppositions but still that's how the threads are showing...exact same in and out of tank reactions to using seventy five cent peroxide

Im making a video series on it right now testing it out to see if it will in fact work. Follow along if you wish.

I'm currently treating my tank with it and already seeing results as of day 3. As for the lack of ingredients, they now list them on both the website and the bottle. They are: 95% cultured bacteria blend, 1% amino acids (aspartic acid), 0.5% vinegar and 3.5% other ingredients. My best guess is it's carbon dosing with a bit of an algaecide mixed in.

do you have any progress photos?

I dosed on day one and again on day 2. I am going to double dose each week until the algae is off my frag plugs. Im on day 4 and can see noticeable results. Ive talked to Underwater Creations and they told me some people see results withing 12 hours and some it takes weeks. I'm riding it out and am going to document it.

My light's aren't actually this white, I clicked "All On" for these photos so the algae could be seen clearly. A little background info: I came home from vacation about 3 months ago to a nearly crashed tank. Algae was everywhere. Hair algae on the glass, pumps, sand, rock- you name it. Cyano all over the rocks and sand. Bryopsis all over the glass and frag plugs. Dinos stringing everywhere. I still don't know what happened but I brought most of it down to a manageable level, except for the hair algae. This stuff was taking over even though I installed a Tunze 9001 skimmer, skimmed wet, began running GFO (5 tablespoons), ROX carbon, Purigen, weekly 25% water changes and cut my feedings in half. Fish started getting skinny. I showed some people the amount I was feeding and they said they feed 3x that and have no algae, so I was beyond stumped. RODI inline TDS meter was calibrated and filters were changed, 0 TDS water for water changes but the algae kept getting worse and worse with each passing week. The tank at this point was almost 8 months old so I didn't feel like this was some young tank phase. I was referred to Vibrant and figured i'd give it a try. Here's the tank at its worst, before a big cleanup and the first Vibrant dose.

Hair algae is turning white already, though there is still some areas with color left.

I'm still not sure what this stuff was on the top of my rock. Chrysophytes was my best guess. It was clearish/brown and couldn't be removed from the rock. As soon as you touched it, it basically turned to dust and blew away.
