ProBio S and -NP Pro standalone use.

Thanks Perry.

Did my first dose of the probio s and np last night. I will begin the build tonight. In doing this what will the build do or help with until I am ready for the aminos and energy and vitality?

Build is a water clarity product, but also helps in the carbonate skeletal building process. It is also stated that Build helps to reduce acidity, and is recommended daily when signs of cyano rear their ugly face

This may seem like silly question, but with just starting to dose the Pro S and -NP, should I hold off on a water change for a week or two to let the biofiltartion get established in the system?

Also, should I dose the build every day like the instruction or should it be every other day?

What makes me ask is your statement

recommended daily when signs of cyano rear their ugly face

I do not think it is necessary, but if you are using Probiotic Reef Salt, then I would start using. Most do not dose Build ever day, while the instructions could be leading you too, this would be more for a full mature system, I would say every other day with any of the corals supps would be more ideal, at least for most users This of course depends on tank maturity, and nutrient levels. Hope that makes sense.

That makes sense! Thank you

Just a quick update.

I have been dosing the ProBio S and -NP pro for a week now, and I have notice better water clarity, but other than this no other visual changes. However, after testing my water and comparing it with previous test results my nitrates stayed at 1 ppm but my Phosphate went from 0.03 ppm to 0.02 ppm. I have changed no water or filtration media during this time.

Thanks for the response Perry.

I currently have a marine pure plate in the sump to help with bio-filtration. With my NO3 being 1 ppm and PO4 being 0.3, would you recommend any use of the probio S or -NP pro?

Why mess with success...lol. Those are great numbers!
