Well the results speak by themselve,
Our bacteria are in the lyophilized form in Probiotic Reef Salt. It is activated in contact with water. These are specialized organisms for the reclamation (cleaning) of water reservoirs. Similar bacteria are also they used to remove effects of disasters of marine tankers, leakage of oil or wastewater treatment.
As about amino acids and vitamins they are dry and they help the initial development of probiotic bacteria in water. Thanks to that they have two functions - improving the water environment (reduction of phosphate and nitrates) and as a plankton bacteria - food for corals especially sps corals. Till the salt is dry nothing happen with bacteria and medium for bacteria. This salt is made for more than 5 years, tested and it works very good in many tanks. We’ll not give the names of Bacteria (which strain) because it’s our company know how and we are afraid of copy our product. Today’s microbiology allows to much more then storage of bacteria (probiotic) in salt , food for animals or even humans.
If You will have more questions please ask my friend J
As I posted in another, similar thread...
Well, that at least explains what they hope to accomplish with the bacteria. Assuming it works as claimed, the claims sound almost exactly like the claims for MB7, so in that sense it doesn't sound revolutionary to me, and I still don't see why this should be in the salt mix itself since that leads to complications like stability of the new salt water. Why not just add it separately when and if you think you need such bacteria?
Did you ask them how long this salt water retains the initial concentration of amino acids, vitamins, and bacteria? I presume that one needs to use it right away if you want that benefit (if it is a benefit), or else the bacteria will colonize the salt water storage container and consume the organic matter.
