Prodibio to startup the tank?

[crewdawg1981]

Okay, so I know a few of you guys have or continue to use Prodibio... what are your thoughts?

I'm considering using it to speed up the process of getting my tank ready to move everything. I have to shut down my 90 in a week or two, and I'd rather not chance having everything die. I used biodigest and reefbooster several years ago to get the 55 gallon running, and I know Raj had seen some crazy good results with his tank (as in ... no cycle whatsoever) when he used it.

I dont think I'd try getting into it long term, but which products should I consider using? Should I just get the little 6 vial packs? (is that even gonna be enough for my system - 180 display + 135 sump + lots of plumbing.)

TIA

I used the PRO kits for my tank, but I used Biodigest and Bioptim. They worked incredibly for me and I always reccomend them to everyone I can.

Speaking with Dr. Nicolas recently, they've reformulated the product line to make it easier to dose. Everything is now packaged for the same doseage (50L per vial).

Yeah... I'm def going to give this stuff a shot. I'll look into who and where I can get the Biodigest and Bioptim. Its better than the potential crash from moving everything too soon.

My dad used to swear by the stuff, but has since stopped using it all together.

i use it to cycle my tanks, definatly kick starts the process if your not using live rock or sand. Also cuts out the slime algae during the break in period. The initial dose requires multiple vials to start with but then regular dosing is a lot less. you'll need more then 6 vials, you'll probably use this just in your initial dose. Using this stuff will also make the transistion from the smaller tank alot easier and stress free for your livestock.

Yeah I went ahead and ordered a 30 vial pack of biodigest (figured I'd need at least 15 vials as they treat 15 gallons each) and a 12 pack of bioptim.
