I know it's been 6 weeks or so since you posted, but figured i'd give your thread a bump and my observation. I bought their ReefKit for a trial run, and dosed BioDigest, Bioptim, and Coral Vits as per the instructions, tho i didn't dose the Stronti+ nor the Iodi+ because I see no need for them, and didn't do the ReefBooster dose yet because i felt my nutrients were a little high and i've read you should not use that until you have undetectable/ULNS ( for the record, my PO4=.07 (Hannah), NO3 ~10 ( Salifert ). I tested right after a water change of 30%.
After 48 hours, PO4 sits at .03, and NO3 at ~5.
So, the early going is good, but it's way to early to say if long term it is worth it. However, In my excitement at the 50% reduction in nutrients over 48 hours, I did buy 7 months worth of it so that I could give it a fair evaluation.
My concern is that that is WAAAAAAY to fast to strip the water, but it is what it is now, no going back, I guess. I had no idea, nor concern that it would do it that fast, or I would have only dosed 1 vial instead of 2 of the components ( I run 100 net gallons )
I had a health situation in September and October that prevented me from water changes, and as a result, I recently battled a little algae uprising in my tank ( nothing major, thank god ), so I feel your pain. I was able to beat it down by the end of November without the Prodibio, but in my research on vodka dosing and the bacteria methods I became intrigued by Prodibio and Zeovit and the others and did the research and felt it was something I would try as a maintenance routine. Seems much more straightforward, and a 1/4 the yearly cost of Zeovit, for me, at least.
Do you still have the algae problem?
Did you go with Prodibio anyway?

Thanks for reporting in. My algae problem has greatly reduced but merely because the tank is fallow atm due to an ich infestation, so had to get all the fish into a quarantine tank.
However I'm working on a new build atm and am still doing some research on their products, and I think I might run em from the get go when the new ones up in a couple weeks.
