These were some of the most asked questions that we had in my local reef club and how the company responded to them.
1. Will Bio Digest have any effect on macro algae like Chaetomophia?
Bio Digest and Bioptim are used for spread of algae depriving them of food. However they are not chemical reagents. They reduce nitrates, phosphates, carbohydrates. Prodibio will not kill a macro-algae.
2. Will stopping the use of kits have any effects on the overall system, i.e., make the tank cycle?
If you stop to use the kits, the bacterial population of the tank won’t be optimized like in a tank which no products has been used. The optimal proportions of key bacterial strains won’t be re established, there will be an imbalance. There will be no cycle of a tank from stoping using the product.
3. Is it safe to dose everything in the Bio Kit at once or do you need spread out each vial so they do not interact?
There is no danger to dose everything in the Bio Kit at once. You just have to spread out each vial one by one.
4. What products do I need to turn my skimmer off for and for how long ?
When the use of the Reef Booster: shut down the skimmer at night before going to sleep and put the product in your tank. In the morning, you can turn on the skimmer. None adjustment should be make.
It is better to use this product from a 150 Litres system if there is a lot of corals and live rocks: use the half vial the first day and the other half 3 or 4 days later. During this 3 or 4 days wait, put the half vial in the fridge.
