Start dosing 2X per week. Continue that dosage until algae dies. Then dose 1X per week for 2 weeks to insure all spores or hidden algae is gone. You can then do once every 2 weeks as a maintenance dose, this is what i do, or do nothing until any algae returns. Just be patient. Some algae take...

From my readings bryopsis is very hard to kill. In fact some of those posting on reef2reef have had to tear their aquariums apart and start over or they get out of the hobby. Limiting the nutrients is also difficult for most hobbyists because it is human nature to want to feed our fish and...

I bought the 8oz bottle. Company is saying it last over a year. Mine won't last that long so someone else will need to verify this. Seems like a reputable company. Answered all questions on thread straightforward. For an up date, today I dosed the 2 week maintenance dose of 1ml per gal. Glass...

Company says the bacteria stays in a dormant stage and is only activated when dosed into the aquarium. I believe they stated it will last for over a year and does not need to be refrigerated. Dick Flanagan

The company says the nutrients go thru same process as food. Coral, snails, filters,skimmer,macro algae, all consume it. One thing to watch is that after the algae is gone and if you want to continue to dose your NO3 and NO4 my drop too low. I'm not a chemists nor biologist so you might want to...

Yes the company started early on when these type questions were being asked, especially because of safety concerns, that the bacteria they use only live a few days. You can verify this by reading the postings or call the company. This is probably why a maintenance dose has to be administered...

No. You don't have to change anything. Best to dose right after you do a water change. I should point out that people that had a serious algae infestation did experience temporary higer NO3 and NO4 due to all the nutrients being released. This will resolve itself shortly and will not effect the...

Bio-pellets just add feed existing bacteria, which if used correctly is a good thing. Vibtrant is completely different. It has different strains of bacteria that both remove nutrients and actually eat the algae. It's bacteria is also short lived and does not multiply. Dick Flanagan

It's already worked for me. Started using it 11-23-16. Dosed 1ml per 10 gal. In my case 14ml per dose. Did this 2 times per week for a total of 9 doses. Ended on 12-21-16. Killed algae that nothing would eat, snails and urchin, and all bubble is gone. Do have some emerald crabs, but they didn't...

From what I have read it attacks the lower forms of algae first. The company doesn't think it will harm macro algae in a refugium. However, some people say it has weakened their cheato. I would be careful when using the higher dosage i.e. twice per week. Haven't read anything when using the...

The bacteria they use works in two ways: 1.it reduces the nitrates and p04 and 2. It eats the algae. It's not carbon dosing because that only feeds the exiting bacteria. This vibrant provides bacteria that attacks algae. One other point is that if a tank has a lot of algae the nitrates and P04...

If one was to read all the comments from the companies first posting which was around the beginng of Nov. it might clear up some of the above comments. The ingredients are bacteria and not chemicals. The company goes into great detail to explain how the bacteria works. Too many people have been...

The companies website is: uwcmn.com/vibrant-liquid-aquarium-cleaner Other sellers: fragtastic reef and amazon If I can be of further help let know.

After the problem is solved the mfg. recommends dosing every 2 weeks as a general maintenance. No reason algae should return unless the basics aren't followed i.e. too munch feeding, etc. I'm now watching the tank to see how long my issues will remain under control. Since Vibrant is bacteria...

No, I bought it on line. I'll need to look up the web site where you can get it. I'll post it tomorrow.

As I just posted BSAjim our algae problems my be over. Many of us that have used a product called Vibrant have eliminated just about all the common algae issues including bubble algae. Check the product out on reef2reef. Tons of information. Since I know that almost everyone will have this...

A much better way to remove any type algae is to use a product called Vibrant. If your interested call me 510-655-3066. You can research it on reef2reef. Just type in Vibrant in the search box. Well over 200 comments, and at least 95 percent positive. I used it to kill string algae and bubble...

I tried to confirm I will be at the meeting, but the "yes" box would not indicate that I am. My wife is checking to see what food I can bring(she's going to have to prepare it). Dick Flanagan

Thanks for calling Geneva. I'll be there. Dick Flanagan
