Fauna Marine Bacto Reef Balls 250 Ml Reef-bacteria + Enzymes In Depot Spheres

[Skim]

From what I have read about it so far, is either use on its own or if you are using another Carbon source cut the dose in half, so use 1 ball per 26 gal. But for myself I did remove my pellet reactor as I want to see the results of this product on its own.

I've been following this thread very close... I'll bring into Extreme for the sarnia Reefers.

Has anyone tried this along with Red Sea pro NO3/PO4..

I had a slight algae issue still and it's 90% gone already. Hard to believe but it's reduced the algae film on the glass.

Size comparison after 7 of the 14 days before the suggest adding more. I made a small basket out of that plastic canvas we use in diy biopellet reactors to contain them.

I'm 7 weeks in with them and have not noticed any changes tank wise. They shrink down to about 2mm and then stop shrinking.

Soooo for those of us running sumpless....where would we put them to work effectively? Can they be just thrown into the display to roll around?

Two weeks up, I replace them. Well there was nothing left in the bag I had them in. Zero algae issues and the algae on the glass is minimal. The limited corals I have are looking good. So far so good, sorry to lazy/busy to test anything

2 weeks in. Added 12 more to the DT and 6 to the seahorse tank. They have not shrunk much since last week's update.

You through them right in your display?

The ones in my horse tank I just dropped in the corner overflow where they are safe.

I have a small basket made out of plastic mesh, same thing we use to mod the tlf150 for biopellets

Want to ask this again since no one responded. Would this replace using Red Sea Pro PO4/NO3 reducer.

Would this alone work to reduce phosphate and Nitrates ??

I've never used it but my understanding is you can use it in conjunction with it. You would have to reduce the number of balls used by half.

Thanks Nick for the prompt response. So reduces algae would that also include the Cyano or just the usual green hair And stuff on glass? Thanks

It has not affected the cyano in my horse tank. But cyano is a bacteria, not an algae.

Ok sooooo if I was light on live rock could I get by with double the suggested rate??? Or am I mistaken on the use?

Mistaken. These ball just disolve and are bacteria and enzymes, not something to replace live rock.

Siporax would help you in this situation. Bigshow had some on his site.
