Quantum bio enhance

[Randy Holmes-Farley Verified Community Expert]

Randy are you talking about aminos in general or just this product?

The listed ingredients do not seem especially useful unless N is low. If N is low, amino acids can certainly be useful.

All of those ingredients together sounds like food.

I’m not having issues but when someone like Randy says he sees no reason to even dose it, then it makes u wonder if it’s worth using or changing to another product.

I’d treat it as an experiment. Dose it and see if it impacts the tank in a positive way. I wouldn’t say it cannot be useful in any given tank, and it may provide N in a way that corals prefer to nitrate.

There’s a very long list of different types of chemicals that folks claim helps color, etc. ammonia, trace elements, nitrate, etc.

Thanks. If folks are actually following these directions, and hence are adding other products as well, it is impossible to know (without careful experimenting) which of them are having any observable effects, good or bad.

Are you having issues with it? Our local stores here in the US have it. I am seeing it showing up every across the US lately.

Don’t be insulted, but do you have any connection to this company? Work there? Friends with folks who do, own it, etc?

Reason I ask is they seem to be just down the road from you.

Never mind, I see you are the company. It is a serious violation of the terms of service to schill your own company.

I wanted to try an experiment so 10 days ago I stopped dosing bio enhance to see what if any effect it would have on my tank.
Firstly my phosphates dropped from 0.34 to 0.1, my nitrates have risen from 8 to 10 and my alk has been on the slow rise currently at 9.35 up from 8.5. All other parameters are basically the same.
I’ve noticed my gonis haven’t been extending as fully as they used too, they’re probably half of what they have been in the past few months.
My anemones are starting to get there bubble tips back after months of being spaghetti, strange coincidence maybe but just an observation.
All other corals are fine and look unaffected as is the fish, and to be honest my corals look like they have more colour.
One thing it’s solved is my high phosphate readings, it was never an issue but I didn’t know why they were always high but now I know.

I didn’t realize I was schilling a company I work with. Especially when I see hundreds of people who are sponsored by other companies doing the same thing. But thanks for the heads up. I will have to figure out how these other people are doing it. So we don’t violate the terms. That was not my intent here at all. Just to inform.

I would be interested in learning more about your system. Our Bio-Enhance product has been around now for 8 years and you are the first we have heard about someone getting an increase in phosphates with it? By chance did you put it in a clear dosing container, or did you dose direct from the bottle. This is the only time we have seen this. The light will break down the products in it and cause issues.

clarifying your question:

i don’t know what your relationship is to the quantum employee who was banned for schilling, but it is never ok to pretend to be a happy user of a product when in fact he was much more.

Companies have a number of other restrictions as well.
