I won 3 boxes of it at the swap but can't find dosing instructions for it anywhere really. How much would you use for a 30 gallon, 1 vial?
I believe so. If i remember correctly it is 1 > 50g 2 for 50-100 3 for 100+. If you go to marine depot I think they have the pdf instructions. I am pretty sure that is where i got it. Now that is for the normal ones I believe the ones in the raffle was the nano kit which may be different.

I got 3 Prodibio Biokit Nano Reef kits. Each has 30 vials- 6 Biodigest Nano, 6 Bioptim nano, 6 Reef Booster Nano, 6 Iodi+ nano and 6 Stronti+ nano. It says on it that it's for aquariums up to 30 gallons, but doesn't say anything about how much to use (just how many times per week).

Clear water ,its helped me out with nitrate and phosphate ,i also see better polpy extension. Who knows Pratt if its from that but my tanks been uphill ever since .i also think maybe the corals are feeding on the explosion of bacteria that may go on when u add the prodibio ..I'm no scientist lol .but at the very least its Def makes ur water crystal clear for the next few days after using it

Whats in it? I've always been against these types of products not because they don't work or they're artificial, but because if my reef gets used to it, it may start to depend on it and then it would need it. But I'd love to try it just cause you guys are raving.

Thanks for the additional info. While it is true I am skeptical of most of these products ( we all should be --remember skeptical doesn't mean against), that doesn't mean they don't perform as claimed and aren't beneficial. What you guys describe above sounds reasonable for a carbon source/bacterial additive product.

I like sticking to doing it the natural way. Water changes if needed and phytoplankton done the Au Natural way. mabe some iodine and other minerals if needed for my animals.

Bknyreef I do religious water changes weekly on my tank .I think that goes no matter what ,that's a must ..there is no magic additive in my eyes ,but if there was I would have to say so far prodibio is it .u will notice a diff in water clarity for sure at the very least .may be work a shot to try it out .its pretty much what Pratt said carbon source and bacteria .
