I put it in photoshop, fixed the blue and sharpened it, I'd say with what I can see, not bryopsis.

This is why I chose zeofood over Bioptim. To me it seems easy to overdose the Bioptim which is used up buy the bacteria but one vial may be to much depending on the tank. At least with zeofood it's buy the drop so you can dose less more often.

I've done strictly prodibio and strictly zeo. Both Imo have pros and cons. But in my experience have found that my tank benefits from a customized program.
It seems that when these product are released they are vague on how each one affect our individual tanks and you need to learn the tank to understand what it needs and when.
So I should add zeostart or vodka as a carbon source ? Good thing I have a years worth of Prodibio..NOT

Depends on your time slotted to tank. Carbon dosing is a daily requirement. Also I would refrain from gfo with any bacteria driven system

I can dose daily no problem. Never knew that about gfo. I assume that includes PhozDown? Can I still use Bioptom?

Thanks

Yes you can use biotin biodigest and a carbon source. Just make sure you read up on the dosing procedure as not to shock. Tank.

Gfo and or phoz down will both upset the red field ratio. Making it hard for bacteria to effectively lower nutrients
