Clarify your dose, you are doing 3 per week? Started treatment today tank is fairly clean so I'm no poster child for advertisement but have some bryopsis and a random patch of cyano

I glanced at the bottle and saw there was a dirtier aquarium directions and assumed he was talking about that.

On their other thread they claim you can OD on it, but I'm sure if you dumped a whole bottle in some funky things may happen.
I did my second dose last night. Doing Friday and Monday dosing. GHA is already starting to recede where I had let it grow long. The brown stuff its harder to tell doesn't look like its been affected yet. I have some red algae on a frag plug that also isn't affected yet.

Ive used this stuff for my Dino infestation. Dinos so bad they would cover sps frags in a few days and kill them. I have been dosing for 1+ months now @ 2x per week. Dinos aren't 100% gone but are 95% gone... good stuff..

The change that I noticed sense doing the first dose is that Euphilias are not opening up to the full extent and RBTA is not sprawling everywhere. SPS are unaffected completely. I have a couple of issues that might be too blame though. I overdosed dosed Aquavitro Ions (magnesium + trace) and had to switch from dosing my usual fusion 1 to Aquavitro calcification, which contains citric acid. I also had a frag of zoas fall off the rock and was carried away by a goby, which presumably means palyotoxin got released in the water.
I believe I see some improvement in the brown algae covering the top of the rocks so I added one more 15ml dose last night. I am running carbon and replaced the GFO. Skimmer seems to be pulling much more crud then previously.

This wasn't last night but the night before after cleaning the glass I think. Made the water hazy for a bit.

At 24 hours the tank water with 5ml Vibrant added to it was interesting vs the tank water with no Vibrant added. At 48 hours its rather impressive.

And I can't find that pm again so to reply to the original request.
No I have not found any kind of film forming on the top of the water with rodi in it and 5ml vibrant added.

I didn't get near enough time to go through all those like I wanted. I just ran out of time each night. But it was cool to see what I saw all the same and will share some of it. Wish I had the time but my eyes kept shutting on me each night. There was a marked difference in bacterial counts though between those samples that had the extra overdose of the 5ml of vibrant added vs those that didn't get it. I did try and see what I could at 4 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours. 4hrs after adding vibrant I didn't notice much of a difference between tank water, tank water w/ 5ml vibrant added, and rodi w/ 5ml vibrant added. Some photos a sponge forming RODI_5ml_Vibrant_4hrs-0002 by Jason, on Flickr many things didn't like the rodi water RODI_5ml_Vibrant_4hrs-0003 by Jason, on Flickr bacteria didn't seem to care RODI_5ml_Vibrant_4hrs-0005 by Jason, on Flickr nor did some of the diatoms RODI_5ml_Vibrant_4hrs-0006 by Jason, on Flickr RODI_5ml_Vibrant_4hrs-0008 by Jason, on Flickr this one didn't make it RODI_5ml_Vibrant_4hrs-0010 by Jason, on Flickr

At 24 hours I could start to see a difference between the sample with 5ml Vibrant added vs the one with out.
Tank water 24 hours later no extra vibrant added looked normal and normal amounts of bacteria moving around. Algae still looking pretty good. Some dead but there was some at 4 hours too.

at 24hours with 5ml of Vibrant added seemed to have markedly more bacteria and the algae seemed less healthy if that makes sense. Still plenty of other life moving around.
