MB7 + Vodka(Carbon Source)

Krucial08 · Aug 13, 2009

The reason why fuges are taken down is because the MB7 (bacteria) will compete with your chaeto for nutrients and bacteria will eventually make your chaeto starve. With that happening it will release unwanted chemicals in your tank due to it dying.

How much MB7 should I dose on around 80g total water volume? For the first 2 weeks how much MB7 daily? Thanks

I still run my fuge. With the amount of food I drop into my tank every day, I don't think I will ever reach a TRUE ULNS... So, if algae is going to grow anywhere, I'd rather it be in the fuge

what's everyone's maintenance dose? I was doing 2mLs daily on a 40br, but I've cut it back to 1ml--some corals are lightening up a bit more than I'd like. I'll be working back up again, but incrementally.

I just had a bad experience with MB7. After 5 days following the start up instructions I had a red cap bleach and another acro colony start to RTN. Also lost one frag completely. I'm wondering if I could already have ULN since I wasn't able to read any detectable Nitrate or Phos beforehand.

So even if I dose vodka alone, would I need to get rid of the fuge?

shapermike · Dec 1, 2009

when I does vodka my fuge starts to die off. so now I just add a little mb7 when i add new stuff to my tank.

jessesoto33 · Dec 1, 2009

I was told that Using Prodibio Bio Clean works just as good as vodka dosing, can anybody confirm this?????

glOckcOma · Dec 1, 2009

So from I read, its not a good idea to run GFO while doing this, anyone doing this while running GFO, I just bought a $100 reactor, and I am not about to stop using it.
