Was not aware of Aquabiomics. Will definitely give it a look a most likely test...thanks!What the reefing community is trying to say is that 'maintenance bacteria' is a fad and unnecessary, so save your money. Question is who are you going to believe? Experienced aquarists with nothing to gain or commercial entities?
A properly set up reef aquarium will already have a diverse bacterial community that continuously balances and renews itself. If you need an example as proof, my small nano has been running for nearly 12 years without any additives and my latest Aquabiomics bacterial report shows a very diverse bacteria community that is comparable to a typical 2-3 year old established system.
Interesting....if I loaded my gut with alot of good bacteria wouldn't that be a good thing? Why wouldn't that apply to a reef tank? So you are saying that too much good bacteria or some kind of overload of good bacteria from these products would do more harm than good. Seems illogical.Pretty much, in your intended application
As mentioned above, once the bacteria in your tank have started to populate all of your solid surfaces, their populations will wax and wane as their fuel does the same.
