probiotics

so what is "PROBIOTICS". Probiotics is what you think it is, it is the opposite of Antibiotics. antibiotics are the chemicals to kill bad bacteria. The objective of probiotics is to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria.



now you know what the objective is so how are you going to do this, simple.
(there is many ways i am going to only put the ones that i know and are more common. if you have any info you can tell me and i will add/change)

First you need to know what what you are doing! but hold on you are almost there.
what you need to do is build a supper strong bacteria.
the way i would do it
MB7

that is the prouduct you will use to get the bacteria built up until you will need to feed the bacteria. now you can use reef bio-fuel or vodka. i recommend reef bio-fuel because i am not the kind of person to take a non aquarium product and use it like no tomorrow. some do this with great results.

so what you are doing with this way is getting your beneficial bacteria to grow then add a carbon source such as bio-fuel (vodka you get the carbon from ethanol)
there are some things you have to do and watch for as this is not a no mistake mission.
maintain your water!!
you are adding a source for which bacteria grows from and you have bad water you will grow bad bacteria that is bad. (wow that was lot of bad's) keep paraments in check and also test your water frequently."If you are using a phosphate-binding agent, such as granular ferric oxide (GFO) in your tank, you will want to keep a close eye on your phosphate levels. Probiotics will reduce phosphates, but reduction rates vary from method to method and system to system. If your phosphate levels take a nose dive, remove the GFO material. Rapid depletion of phosphate caused by using GFO with some probiotic systems may result in coral tissue necrosis, presumably caused by rapidly shifting the bacterial dynamics in the areas on or adjacent to the coral tissues." about.com only one way to say it hope that is ok.
also remove your UV sterilizer and do not skim until 4 hours after dosing .
and on a closing note i am not saying go and do this, it is not forever one. you need to read and make that chose for your self. i will not be responsible if you OD your tank.

ADVANCED aka. more money!!

not saying the 1st. way is bad but this is better.
for this you will bedoing the same thing just with one more pice of equitment. a zeovit reactor
also you will need
this is just a place for your bio film to grow on but may be better for your situation.

 

Think that is a typo.

also you should probably cover biopellets

 

And the dangers of Cyano. I am still trying to figure it out

 

ok well from what i was told and read that is accurate. i will look more and ok

will do
