Warning: Use Vibrant at your own risk

[doubleshot00]

Don’t try to avoid it. Just ride it out. As long as you don’t over feed it won’t be bad or long. Yes mb7 is bacteria and has been cultured. However it is kinda pointless just get some live rock to seed the tank.

if you use vibrant your tank will be addicted and you will get Dino’s the second you stop and that is worse then any algae.

This is exactly what my LFS said

^ The TM team since this blew up...

At least tm stood up and find an issue after it was brought to them and than made a recall. Don’t know about you but in my book that speaks volume and I can and will get behind a company that does that…

Gotta say, this is some real high quality forum drama. It's got it all, real science, crimes, trolls, memes, federal agencies, drains, magic potions, waiting for the next episode, watching the trainwreck together with a community

You forgot crickets

The TL;DR version. Looks accurate to me.

Just interjecting some humor, reading this is pretty funny in retrospect

Ah, was waiting for you to chime in. It’s interesting you don’t mention anymore the analysis that you supposedly did or your club “has done” that you love to tote about? This isn’t rocket science you all. If you search on the internet, you can see exactly what is in vibrant from all the tests and cultures that have been done.

$$$$ was spent on that “research” I’m also sure a graphics design company did the chart

I wish I was being paid to engage here because you guys sure are exasperating. I can assure you though, I have no affiliation with UWC.

Before anyone asks again: no, I will not advertise my identity on a public forum to appease an angry mob, nor should I have to for my comments to be considered.

what was that movie with Rowdy Piper? the one where he had alien ID sunglasses ? I need a pair

never mind me….just trolling for “reaction points”

Thanks for posting the video, it gives me a new frame of reference.

I was giving UWC some benefit of the doubt, assuming they had little to no scientific background and did not understand their product well enough to intentionally deceive their customers, but now like all of you I await their response. Claims that are made by the owner in the video are totally unsupportable. It will be interesting to see if they can untangle themselves from this apparent debacle, I doubt it. I don't wish anyone ill will, but I do believe in absolute accountability. Can't help checking the thread every few hours looking for closure from UWC's end. (Sad face).

meanwhile Jeff @ UWC headquarters

Fascinating. 78 pages of evidence of malfeascence. A case study on when saying nothing is the best move.

(to be fair, prob 20 of those pages are just me and the gif gang trolling...)

emerald crabs forever!!

not wise to use these crabs as they are opportunist that will eventually start eating your corals. good luck

Hello Everyone,

As everyone knows Vibrant has been wildly popular. We stand by Vibrant 100% and we are not taking these accusations lightly.

At this time, we have samples of Vibrant out to Labs for independent certified testing dating back to batches from 2016 to current to compare them to see if there have been any changes in the production of Vibrant.

We are hoping to have these results back by the end of this week and we will post everything that we have.

I know this post will not please everyone, but we want to have as much information as possible for the community before we make any official statements.

Thank you,
Jeff
UWC

This lab must be in Antarctica. It's taking this long to comment on the results?

Coincidentally, just watched my emerald gobble down a brand new Zoa frag I just added. They are the worst

Anyone else get an email about the reply from the mole? Banned now obviously. Just goes to show you what "Reddit" is capable of and how low of levels he, I mean they are willing to stoop to try to get revenge for shutting down (t)his nonsense.

Nope, what email?

Unfortunate. You don't get emails for your own replies.
