Comments: Thought Id give it a try. The instructions are unclear, however, there is a ton of info on the web about this product. So far (week 3) I have noticed lots of bubbles on my rocks. And I have noticed a slight decline in the muck on top of my sand bed. Im assuming the Bacteria strands are doing there job- I did have to shut down my skimmer for about an hour after each dose (ASM G3, meshed). It would go crazy- I have just been dosing by dropping the stuff straigt in. I have heard to mix it first with some aquarium water, and it might prevent your skimmer from over-reacting. So far So good- Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I had persistent problems with elevated nitrite and nitrate levels in a newly established RED SEA MAX. The levels were never "toxic" but I could never get them as low as I wished. Besides all of the typical "tank maintenance", I tried all of the nitrifying bacteria products I could find--I belive I tried 4 total. After adding the two ampules of Bio-clean (one bacteria, one supplements), nitrate levels dropped to nearly undetectable (0.01) and nitrates to 5. I was so surprissed I actually confirmed the results with another new test kit! My suspicion is that the Bio Trace(supplement) part of the kit was key and that once the bacteria had the trace elements needed they flourished. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

seems to be working by reeftivo

Comments: I have a 40 gallon mixed reef that has been up and running for about two years now. The tank is predominently SPS with a couple of LPS (bubble and finger). I have had a slight outbreak of bryopsis which appeared on a new piece of tonga that I cured and placed into the tank 2 months ago. I have been able to keep it under control with pruning and the help of my mighty lettuce nudi but it will not completely die off. I am on my second week of prodibio BIO CLEAN and it is funny because I actually think this stuff is working! I did not notice anything the first 3 days but on the fourth day I noticed the bryopsis becoming brown and translucent. This has never happened before using this product. It is coming to the end of week two and the bryopsis is starting to fall off the rocks a little at a time (WOW). I was thinking of trying the fauna marine Ultra algae x but it is very risky because of the dosing and my water perameters did'nt warrent such a drastic measure. The jury is still out on this but it definately seems to be working. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: After 2 days noticed the skim water in protein skimmer was about 3x darker. Less film on water surface, clearer water, algae on rocks finally reducing. Tank looks alot better. Had been doing weekly water changes, nitrates 10 after a water change & creeping back to 20 at weeks end. Now my nitrates are at a steady 2.5 & I didn't have to do a water change this week ! Will keep this product in my supply cabinet. love it! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Skeptical? by LEE

Posted on 12/30/2008 from SEAL BEACH, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: Skeptical? I was. There is simply too much snake oil in this hobby that has no self policing agency or standards upon which you can rely. I gambled after a member of the staff suggested I give it try. It is not a magic bullet, but it does work. I tried the BioReef which has a split of BioDigest and BioOptim with Strontium and Iodine. About halfway through the kit there was a noticable reduction in algea. For those who do not understand that chemistry it is beyond this message. But I suggest the BioClean product over the BioReef unless you need the added elements. Every indication points to this being a quality product. You do have to get used to breaking glass ampules as the product is hemetically sealed - another sign of a quality product the same as how many medications are packaged. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Prodbio Bio Clean by CARL GREEN

Experience Level: Intermediate

Comments: I used this product for several months on my 75 gal mixed reef with no noticeable change. Once I changed that system over to a 150 gal PO4 and NO3 were undetectable but still had hair algae growing on the sand bed. I wanted to try this product one more time. (2 vials of bioptim and 1 vial of bio digest) This time I used at night, turned off the skimmer, ozone gen, and UV sterilizer until the morning. That was the ticket to success; orp increased sand bed now has very little growth of algae, and very little algae returned on the glass and snails. After several days I noticed some dark corals starting to regain true color. Just ordered my second shipment and plan on continue using this product. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great stuff by Andy

Comments: I was having cyano, hair and turf algae problems, yet my phosphates and nitrates were zero. I tried phosphate remover, carbon, skimming and none could stop the spread. The algae was able to outcompete my skimmer and my skimmer produced very little skimmate. Now that I use prodibio the water is VERY clear, my skimmer is pulling out MUCH more skimmate and my algae is showing signs of dying off. It didn't happen overnight and it might take some tinkering of the dosage depending on your bioload, but it works. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Not magic bullet by Hodori

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 2/7/2008 from LOS ANGELES, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: I bought this based on the reviews (people were saying its the end all cure all) with a little skepticism... I dosed every week after weekly 20% water changes. The algae did get weaker, but after about 1 1/2 months of use, I still had a similar amount of algae (they just looked weaker). Seemed like a good product but don't expect it to be the miracle cure. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

A+ for Bio Clean by BRANDON COGGINS

Experience Level: Intermediate

Comments: Prodibio Bio Clean is a great combination product consisting of Bio Digest and Bioptim in the same package. After running my SPS tank on this system for 12 weeks, my water is clearer and the corals have bright vibrant colors. One thing not mentioned in the prodibio instructions is to keep your your alkalinity between 6-8 dkh. If you stray outside these parameters you may experience tissue necrosis and burnt tips on SPS corals. Other than having to keep a close eye on dkh, this is a great product. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: great product that really works... my only thing is that they could package a little differently and set it up in different quantities... ie: the bioptim is only good for 200 litres per ampoule whereas the biodigest is good for 1000 litres... theres 3 of each in the six pack... my tank is 300gals.... do the math and i dont even get one treatment with the bioptim but i get 3 with the biodigest.... go figure Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I had a major algae issue with my 180G marine tank. the rocks were covered in algae - even some of my snails had algae on them. I tried multiple water changes a week, added a refugium, scrubbed, added a phosphate reactor, spent hundreds of dollars on cleaning crews. Nothing seemed to help. After using the bio clean, my tank started cleaning itself. A 10 weeks my tank is almost algae free. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I noticed a considerable difference in my 50 gallon reef within the first 24 hours of initial dose. If it isn't really working it sure makes a great optical illusion. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
