Aquaforest probiotic method

[Myka]

The remaining products should be in stores next week including the salt.

Also, correction...

BioS is for seeding new tanks - nitrifying bacteria.

ProBioS is probiotic bacteria (hence the "pro").

ProBioF I don't know much about...my understanding is that it is more types of probiotic bacteria in a powder form. Some probiotic bacteria are more stable as powder, some as liquid. I don't really see people using this one often.

The pro bio f is for small tanks

So essentially you can use one or the other, or both. Maybe the ProBioF is a good option for sumpless tanks? I wonder if it is ok for skimmerless too?

Bio f is the carbon source and bacteria it's like a all in one for small tanks but you would always need a skimmer for this method.

So I should use just the Probio S and the np pro and thats it for phosphate reduction ? And dont use the bro bio f ? Or should I use all 3 ? My tank is 60g is that considered a small tank ?

FWIW, I used ProBioF for about four months, I didn't see much change in nitrate. I switched to NoPox and it started working within days. I still have like 80% of PBF if someone wants it at next meet or whatever.

Ahhhh, i got them mixed up.

I just started using np pro and pro bio s. Too soon to tell.
