Please let us know how it works.

[Jasonb]

I sure will. I have a little hair algae left in my tank. My concern is my cheato but if i loose it its cheap to replenish. I also would have to take my ATS off line to use on my tank

I plan to start on my daughters tank. After changing light to put in a anemone and sps in i got a bad algae outbreak. I will keep a log on this thread of how its working

[Zack]

Thanks Jason!

[Jasonb]

Started my first dose, i quit cleaning the aquarium to test, had a algae outbreak and let it go.

So looks like it is working? With the different angle photos, is hard to tell.

Those are both his "before" pictures Mike. I'm sure he'll post "after" photos once some time has passed.

[Jasonb]

Sorry, correct both are before pics of my daughter column. I have only done 2 doses so far, borrowing this lightnfor the frag swap ill post a progress pic when i get the light back on this weekend.

[Jasonb]

Dose 4.
Algae has turned brown from green, its falling off in chunks. I will do a water change this weekend and syphon it out

[SABOB]

Any updates? What's your opinion on this product?

Algae has turned almost white and is falling off.

I tested 1 dose on my 72g and it wiped out half my turff scrubber, but it has bounced back. No negative effects

So i fail to take inbetween my first pic and now but it got worse before it vot better. All the GHA is brown of whiteish and just falling off the rocks. There was so much dead algse on the sand bed i couldnt see the sand.
I did a 10g WC yesterday and did another tonight just to syphon out the dead algae. This tank only has 1 crab and 2 urchin for CUC (and some small nas snails).

I am dosing 3ml per week

I actually started dosing this stuff after I saw your post several weeks back. I have a 200G system and am dosing 20ml a week. I've been dosing for 4-5 weeks now. My tank is certainly turning around, but it's hard to tell if that was the Vibrant alone or the fact that I upped my maintenance and have been continually running a massive amount of GFO (which I've never done consistently before). My main issue was cyano and red turf algae. The cyano comes and goes as the turf algae is dying off.

[Jasonb]

Sorry i have had a cRazy work schedule and had to halt doseing for aboit 2 weeks but i will get back om it this weekend

Been using it for 2 months now to get rid of my bubble algae.

Thoughts so far... Not snake oil.

Wiped out a tiny section of cyano in a back corner, wiped out my red turf algae on my rocks (which I actually wanted to keep for the tangs and angels to graze on), wiped a cool red fleshy algae in my sump, some effects on ulva but not complete tank wipe, and bubble algae about the same but I haven't seen any new ones.

Its interesting to watch it wipe one type of algae out at a time out in the system. I'm hoping the bubble algae is its last step!

While not a direct association since I've added 3 purple queen anthias to the tank and feeding a lot more the last month, I did notice my phosphate level go up but my nitrates stayed the same. Again, could just be because I'm feeding more for the anthias.

[Jasonb]

I have read that some of the bubble algae will turn white and disapear and i have read some just disapear. Been pretty swamped but i plan on getting the tank back on the dose schedule

I ordered a bottle yesterday, hopefully I can start dosing this weekend.

[Jasonb]

IME it seems to turn the hair algae in this tank to "sludge-ish/slim" it falls off the rocks and syphoons up with ease, just doesnt disappear, but could be the nutrients in this tank.

Dosed my 180 yesterday, I will dose my 65 today

[alton]

Is everybody following the 1 ml per 10 gallons every two week routine? This bottle will last me a very long time, just not sure if that is strong enough?

[Jasonb]

I went to 3ml per week on the 15g test

I was doing the 1 ml/10 gal routine every 2 days. Got rid of my green turf, red turf, gooey red fleshy algae, and now it looks like my bubble algae is dying away two months later.

It still hasn't killed off my ulva so this past week I've been double-dosing every 2 days (2ml/10gals).

[alton]

Okay looks like I am going to dose much more, and with Ty's amount it looks like you can't overdose

Alright, pulling the reigns back on double dosing quantity. I've noticed 3 corals lightening up and though I'm not sure if its directly correlated, I'm not taking any chances. I'm going back with the recommended amount of 1 ml/10 gal 2x/week.
