It literally just hit the market a month or two ago. Are you trying to raise or lower phosphate? Have you looked at TM products?

Im not trying to raise or lower nitrates i am coming out of my cyano phase and want to seed my tank with more bacteria to help seed the tank and take up space from other "uglies" plus i heard it will feed my corals

I've done 1 dose. Didn't seem to change my nutrients much.

What’s your thoughts on using it to help combat cyano?

I just treated cyano with chemiclean. I previously went through battling dinos. I'm using it to feed coral and help with bacteria. I've previously dosed 5-6 different bottled bacteria. I've added some Gulf live rock 2 times now. It's been over a week since cyano is gone. Can't say this has helped or not.

I will say, Sps seem to really respond to this bacteria. Check out the polyps on the axial coralites here. Just added some in. Not the best picture tho.

How much are you adding a week/day?

I did the full dose and now am down to the reduced. Just what the bottle recommended.
