Here are a couple of questions and the responses from the manufacturer. This is taken from the Vibrant thread on one of the other large reef forums...

"Q. It contains de-nitrifying bacteria and an "algae-eating clinging bacteria". What is the Family of the bacteria? Why does this particular bacteria consume the algae instead of consuming the same resources that are critical to algae growth?

A. It does both. It will actually consume the algae and feed on the nutrients the algae needs to survive.

Q. With algae-eating, clinging bacteria, how is it selective and targets the algae we deem "pest algae" and does not harm other macro algae?

A. This was all figured out by strength of the bacteria and dosing regiment. It really doesn't know but it works it way from the less dominant algaes up to the more dominant. We are finding that some people are having some issues with chaeto as there No3 and Po4 get consumed and there is not enough to keep the macro happy anymore."
