I believe this is true for different strains of bacteria whether it’s anaerobic or aerobic bacteria. I believe Microbacter clean and vibrant are both anaerobic bacteria or ”dentifying” bacteria.
The only problem with denitrifying bacteria is that it's really hard for them to populate in our reef tanks I believe that's why we have to add it every week or every other week.
Dr Tim’s one and only is fantastic a i’ve used it many times I believe that is aerobic or ”nitrifying” bacteria.
I didn't use it this time as I wanted to try the dry rock fishless cycle kit from brightwell which came with ammonia, microbacter start XLM, and MicroBacter clean(how I got in the dilemma I'm in)
When it came time to use the microbacter clean I instead used vibrant because I believe they are the same just lots of speculation that vibrant is better and I'll like to find out myself.
This isn't the case. It would depend entirely on each system, but many see results before 3 months with small algae outbreaks. Huge outbreaks are more where you'd think this timescale would be more applicableVibrant require minimum 3 to 6 months to see improvements.

I would have to say everytime I start a new tank i’ve always started with new dry rock, and this time around with vibrant I've never had a tank go as long without algae as this one did, and even then it's not that bad. AND I've had the lights on since a week after cycling and my cycle was about a week and a half long with the fishless cycle.Brs did a video that was over the course of I believe 8 weeks. But they saw results in about 2 to 3 weeks if I remember right
It was 9 weeks, and yes most of their test tanks saw some form of result earlier, full eradication was usually around the 7-9 week mark, with 1 tank being on the mend but not fully recovered by 9 weeksBrs did a video that was over the course of I believe 8 weeks.
