PNS Bacteria, Positive Review Quarts and Bulk Gallon

[drivingmecrazy]

Updated on 2-26-2025 I wanted to notate this account thread with the following clause.
I had a hobbyist that reached out to me that was concerned I was using ProBio Brand I wanted to reach out to everyone and let all know that this is not the case. I have made my own PNS bacteria. I did not use any bacteria from PNS Probio as it is trademarked and believe their formula is patented nor have I claimed too.

I have done my own research and developed my own strand and it gets the job done. With that being said I've recently learned earlier that Brightwell aquatics is now selling their own brand of PNS.

I am selling in limited quantities. I'm simply providing a more economical solution for those who are interested. So far 100% of everyone who has purchased the bacteria has been satisfied and some have left positive reviews on both my pages regarding Phyto and PNS.

I have sent some samples out to be credited with my own findings. I plan to post this info once research and development team has concluded their study along with pictures. This is a expensive task and I'm being honest.


Original Post....

I have really tried hard to focus on my tanks nutrition over the past year. From Phyto, Copepods, Chaeto and PNS Bacteria I'm am starting to understand the importance and why one should consider using these for food and waste export.

I've mainly focused on raising just enough for my personal use. I have had numerous request asking me to start selling some PNS Bacteria. So I've created a listing for this. At this time I have 1 gallon jug and a few quarts available.

I have Quarts available at $40.00 each plus $12.00 for shipping
1 Gallon for $150 shipped You save $$.$$ by buying in gallon jugs as I don't have to use extra packaging and my time to bottle.

PNS Bacteria will stay alive for at least 8 months to 1 year if provided a light source and kept at room temperature.

This bacteria has helped my system I am planning on adding a thread to my build thread shortly showing the difference over long term use.

I will only have limited quantities available. And I already have a couple quarts I'm shipping out this week.

If anyone has any questions please reach out to me.

Can you recommend dosing for a 360 gallon (500 gallon total water volume) heavily stocked reef? I'm considering ordering a gallon if I'd be able to use it up before its expiration.

@Seancj
Please read you have such a large system that if you followed the normal dose, you would only have 7 to 14 days depending on how often you dose. Therefore, I would basically choose a decent amount maybe 100ml and dose that daily. That would give you a little over a month before needing more or dose every other day and that gives you two months. Again, I think having a good schedule is the key. This bacteria is alive and will thrive in your system.

This is for everyone, but yes, you would use up the package contents well before it expires. - I'll go ahead and throw this out to everyone. If for some reason your product expires, and it was properly stored in the correct environment, I will send you free replacements. Just pay for the shipping $10 to $15.00 These bacteria should easily last for 8 months to a year.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In regard to dosing, this is my approach. For anything I ever dose in my system I always like to start slow and watch to see how my system reacts to it.

I basically formulated my instructions the same way. Please read below.

Normal dosage is 1 to 1.25 per gallon of water. (entire tank volume)

I like using a tier method.
Recommended for 1st time users. Week one.
I recommend starting out at 1/2 the daily dose. Dose during the night this is the prime time for dosing because of the large amount of nutrients being absorbed both from corals and algae production. Be sure to have all forms of filtering & sterilizing equipment turned off. Such as skimmers, UV's, Ozone equipment. For best results wait at least a couple of hours before turning everything back on.

Week two
I recommend dosing the full concentrated amount 1 to 1.25 per gallon. Please note, I now change my method. I no longer dose daily but every other day. Out of precaution and also to help establish the bacteria in your system.

Week Three
I now change my dosing regimen again to the full normal dose 1 to 1.25 gallon but do so on a daily basis.

You are more than welcome to dose every other day. I realize this product is expensive and I don't want hobbyist to feel like their wasting money. I feel like the most important part is having a schedule. No different from daily or weekly water change schedule. I think we can all agree the benefits of good tank practices and regimen.

Can be installed on a doser. Store at room temp.

I have a conversion table on the back product label for easy dosing directions.

I hope this helps everyone,
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

I bought some phyto and pns previously and the seller did not disappoint! Received my order really quick and Was able to talk to seller about designing 3D-print stuff and seller went above and beyond with very fast replies. Would recommend this seller for phyto, pns, 3D-print stuff, and hope to get some corals from him soon as the weather gets better! Definitely a returning to shop again from this seller! 5/5

Hello, I wanted to say I have been using Chris's product for almost 3 weeks now with noticeable benefits on my Reef Tank, its some good stuff! If you are a fan of PNS bacteria or similar products then you will really like what Chris brews.
However, I wanted to highlight how great the purchasing experience was from Chris. He is a very attentive seller and checked in on me to ensure the packages came in great, advice on how to dose, and overall was a very smooth experience. Highly recommend and you can't beat the price compared to other options of buying PNS bacteria!
