I've been thinking about trying it... anyone know where I can buy the prodibio system additives?

Ocean Aquatics has from Fauna Marine ( they have probidio culture in ampoules for sure)

I think it's the same as ZEO product line from J&L.

I was under the impression they were completely different systems.... anyone know whether this is true? the zeo system requires zeolites and a reactor as does the fauna marin system but there is no mention of a substrate or reactor required with prodibio....

The reactor is a PLUS, not a drawback FYI.

Substrateless probiotic systems are far less effective at providing bacterial plankton suspensions for coral feeding.

ok, I'll take your word on that. but I'd still like to know where I can buy prodibio...

Premium Aquatics, I believe.

both of those places are in the US. doesn't anyone locally sell this stuff?

Not as far as I'm aware.

Is there a reason, in particular, that you want to try Prodibio over the Fauna Marin/Zeovit products?

maybe it's laziness.... the prodibio system doesn't seem to require as much day to day work as the other two and the dosing is seems to be much less often. Then again, it's also a system that you could go away and leave for a week or two without worrying about the fact that you're neglecting your dosing. Correct me if I'm wrong...
