A user by the name "telegraham" on youtube, streamed last night showing him swabbing Vibrant, MB7, and Eco-Balance on a bunch of petri-dish and is currently seeing if bacteria will grow on it. I recall him mentioning that there was no growth with vibrant but it'll be interesting to see the results.
