I think this may again be the two-vehicle ride.  I'll likely drive and may have a seat or two open :)

Mercedes seat material gives me hives.  I think it's made of Saskatchewan sealskin or something.

Shotgun, let me know a day and I'm down. toss some cash for gas

I haven't prior to this run, but I have seen generally positive results in the past few weeks and there are a few threads on RC that back this product positively.

I back this product 100%..... it is not an instant fix product by any means.....it takes time and you must continue to dose it alternating every 15 days. It will not get your po4 to zero alone.....atleast not ime....it is an alternative to using pellets imo.....KZ has a very unique approach as well but they use pellets alongside other dosings. However, if used correctly it actually destroys the theory of 1lb of liverock per gallon....or any liverock at all. I have seen a tank growing sps without issues and the tank has zero liverock at all. Just because you can dose a product does not mean that its a cheap quick fix product that wont work. Melev uses a dosing product to control po4 rather than gfo and sees great results.

I have been running this in conjunction with GFO, Carbon, and pellets for about 6 weeks, something is working, and my numbers have all dropped over that span. Hard to say what did exactly what, but if it works I am going to continue it. I might stop Prodibio once my numbers reach acceptable levels and see what happens, but for now it seems to be working and I am happy.

Tony,

You must realize that by removing the use of prodibio or even adding it to a system can and will likely cause significant changes.....i would strongly advise against removing it. This is why i will not add pellets to my system nowbecause i have a good establshed aystem going here and am not going to risk it by adding pellets at this stage of the game.....kudos to you for getting both going right of the start.

Meh, I guess I can keep it going then. If the results are only positive then I can continue doing the regiment as long as required. It isn't super expensive to add.

As far as expense goes.....it really depends on the size of your system.....yours would cost about 3x what mine does to run the prodibio bioclean process.
