36-48 hours - It is what they have state in the big thread about Vibrant.

quite possibly yes.

Thats why is nice to have a lot of folks to talk to and see experiments from. losing stuff does suk though.

Its leading me to wonder if good recommendations would be to run aggressive carbon during treatment. Many common algae can be toxic. with some of the noted sanil losses Is hard to surmise if its waterborne toxins or the decomposing algaes being ingested. as the snails should be ok in processing the toxins as its part of the diet.

I agree with the idea that running aggressive carbon may help alleviate die off issues. Because we were dealing with dinos, and not sure if ours were of a toxic variety, that is what we have done. We, thankfully, have not seen any livestock casualties, and are quite pleased with the results. @ahiggins, I'm sorry about your livestock loss; that's rough!

@Lasse I had no idea about that!
@Scubabeth I didnt think of running carbon, mostly because what I read was that vibrant could be used without any additional filtration/aeration and same water change schedule. I definitely saw algae die off....as well as most of my other livestock :/

My scooter dragon died yesterday. He wasted away before my eyes

It probably was the removal of the periphyton on the rocks which grew all his food. Natural rock in reefs is loaded with periphyton.
