Been reading through some SPS threads and saw these products mentioned once or twice. All three descriptions sound similar. I can't decide which one to try or try all three? I want to help my acros flourish and grow a little faster. I read that adding pro biotics, it helps reduce nutrients and feed coral. I don't really need to reduce nutrients as my tank struggles keeping NO3 at detectable levels. Phosphate is reading 0.08 fairly consistently. Anyone have experience with these products?
Here are the descripts:
Pro Bio S
Highly concentrated probiotic bacteria. Supplement contains several specially selected bacteria strains. Key function is to transform phosphate, nitrate and organic compounds to a biomass which can be easily removed by skimmer or consumed by corals, sponges, clams and many filter feeders. Bacteria will significantly reduce organic sediment accumulating in the substrate & aquascaping elements. To achieve better results it’s recommended to place in the sump an additional bacteria medium like Siporax or sand. Bacteria can also be a food source for corals. Pro Bio S protects your tank against pathogenic organisms. Recommended to use in conjunction with -NP Pro or Pro Bio F. Dosage: 1 drop per 100 litres daily (27 US gal).
Pro Bio F
Probiotic bacteria with culture medium for NO3 PO4 reduction. It stimulates the development of bacterioplankton, one of the main nutrients for all corals. Dosage: one spoon for 100 liters (27 US gal) of water daily.
-NP Pro
Liquid Polymer - Media for a growth of probiotic bacteria. When -NP Pro is added to the water, bacteria will grow rapidly. These bacteria will convert unwanted nutrients, like nitrate and phosphate into biomass. As a result valuable bacterioplankton is absorbed by corals (providing an additional source of natural food). Recommended to use in conjunction with Pro Bio S. Dosage: 1 drop per 100 litres (27 US gal) daily.
