Aquaforest probiotic method
 
Well, there's another player in the game!

Aquaforest is a probiotic-based method like Zeovit, Prodibio, Fauna Marin, Tropic Marin, etc. It uses a probiotic salt (like Tropic Marin) and zeolith media, and there are daily additives though it is simpler than the Zeovit method. They three different salts and additives for everything from FOWLR to mixed reef, to high-demand SPS dominant tanks. As with most European-based companies, they advocate T5 or halide+T5 systems, and the method can be adapted for RICH SPS colors or pastel (like you see with Zeovit).

The company is based in Poland, and the products have been quickly gaining popularity across the pond. There is quite a stir in the last few months on Reef Central, and a US distributor just received stock in November. Aquaforest told me on RC to expect a Canadian distributor in March. I'm excited to try this method out.

No need to wait if you got deep pockets, looks like aqua forest is selling on Amazon.ca

I'm thinking about trying this. I live close enough to the border I might run down and grab some.

$98 bucket makes 30 gallons? Am I reading that right?

It's a typo. If you read the product description it says 380 gals.

I didn't know that! I saw it on Amazon.com and shipping was outrageous. I'll be ordering this up soon then! I don't know what you mean about deep pockets -it's cheaper than Zeovit and Tropic Marin.

No it says 380g (grams) of salt will make 10 litres of water

Its 380g = 380 grams can be mixed into 10L of water for 1.024 SG. So 22kg (22,000g) can mix up to 587L which is 152 gallons. In par with other salts.

Math is hard though :)
