Vibrant and my urchin

[Postbag]

I am new to this site but just thought I would make a comment about Vibrant. I had a big gha problem and after trying all the usual things I came across vibrant. I have used it for 4 weeks and it has got rid of the algae 95% which is brilliant. But in those 4 weeks I have lost a blue starfish, tuxedo urchin, large emerald crab and a very large teddy bear crab. So I am overall pretty disappointed and will stop using it and hope the gha does not return!

I noticed flatworms falling off the glass after I added vibrant to my tank. They were quickly picked off by my 6-line wrasse. It did help clear up a pretty serious algae problem I had for what it's worth.

I've been using a Vibrant for a while. My urchin is fine. I did notice some snails seem to react to it and bristleworms etc but after the first doses they were ok. There do seem to be some threads where people have had issues and plenty others where everything has been fine so I'm guessing it depends what else you are dosing - perhaps a reaction with other stuff?

It was pretty strange. I dosed 2.5 mL and within seconds of putting it in, my tuxedo urchin fell right off the wall, straight to the bottom. I read so much about it before using it, and I have no idea why my poor guy reacted like he did!

Mine did the same
