I was wondering what affects denitrifying bacteria has on water parameters besides lowering nitrates. Products such a Vibrant or microbacter 7. what cautions should be used when dosing these products. Wouldn't it affect all levels with c02 production and phosphate levels as well? Just curious your experiences with these products and affects on the reef tank. Thanks!

Shouldn't effect anything. CO2 would change your PH up or down with a fall or rise in CO2 levels. Otherwise no other levels would change.
