Fay Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Who has used it and what do you think? I have been using it once in a while, added one vial the other night Anemones love it, But it seems to promote a bit of algae growth I think.

reef Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Been using it for about 4 months, corals do open well. Best is to open a few vials and add them to 1L of water, then dose 3 times a week, best not to over do it as it will add nutrients to the water if it is not used up.

skuzza Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I think it should be a new rule for new products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 You should get a job in marketing, Reef! "Why get stuff for free? Wouldn't you be happier getting it for cheap instead?" Hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combo Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 My question to prodibio.fr: Dear! I and some other reef-keeping friends are using reef booster. We have concern, that adding all vial at once causes short nutrition overload which leads to the possible algae outbreak. Because of that, we are using two methods: - open a vial and add it to 1L of RO water, then dose several times a week - or open a vial and suck it up with a needle and syringe, then fridge it for a week adding a little at a time. Would you tell me, are this methods both suitable? Can first method lead to the some kind of decomposition or other unwanted process? answer: Many thanks for your interest in our REEF BOOSTER. you are right this is a very good product and it feed also the bacteria of the living stones. Look at the results on the tank of this forum. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showt ... did=700454 Don't use the first one because the dilution in water makes Reef BOOSTER sbjet to decomposition. The second solution with a syringe is the best one. Keep the ampoule sticked in a slice of potato for example.

wasp Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 He didn't mention the possible short term nutrient overload. I'm not saying there is one, just would have liked to see his comments on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I think it really seems obvious enough, "Feeding too much is bad." is pretty much a well known constant for reef, fowlr, freshwater, etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay Posted December 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Well that answers my question, I have observed the tank over a week and think this is a good product used correctly e.g. not over dosed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Ok, I've decided, since I've made a little extra money working all the way through xmas and new years I'll buy some reef booster to give it a try.

HelifaxNZ Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Reef had some Coral Food for $50 at one stage. Don't know whether it is the same type of stuff. Reef? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Got it today. I'll give the tank a dose tonight. I'm undecided whether I want to go with half doses every week or full doses. My tank isn't particularly packed. Oh and, $90 for a 2" cube?!? Hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
