Microbacter 7 dosing - any downsides?

[Doctorgori]

Sometimes dosing bacterial products or carbon results in stringy gooo..
this is my sump today; I increased carbon dosing and will be adding in MB7 “just because”

I’ll be honest, FAIK MB7could be just brewers yeast and water

 

[Solo McReefer]

Because I've paid for the testing, I know what's in multiple bottles of MB7 along with other bottles of bacteria juice.

Do you mind sharing?

Was it the only bug juice you tested? If not, mind sharing those test results?

requires some critical thought,

My critical thoughts are

Use all of them, so far the results are satisfying

Ps, my hypothesis is that doing things like the Zeovit Method, is that half of it is placebo. So instead of reaching in, and making a mess of things, you just feel like you're really making contribution. It gets that itch to mess with your tank scratched, without doing much harm. 4 drops of skunky vinegar is relatively harmless

I like how you have them all in droppers like that!

What are you suggestions for other options?

I'd do nothing if you don't have a notable outbreak. If is bothers you, blow it off the rocks. If it bothers you enough that you want to do more to remove it, purchase a Marineland filter (https://www.championlighting.com/filters/canister-filters/marineland-filters/), connect some 1/2" tubing to the outlet, and blow off the rocks. Leave the filter in the tank until the tank clears. If it really bothers you, turn off the lights for three or four days.

I laughed out loud for real….This was my exact thought when I shopped this method and saw all those darn bottles…

Ok, how is that internal filter doing any more than my fleece roller? Finer filtration?

In one bottle of MB7, the top three species are B. subtilis, B. licheniformis, and B. pumilus. That's 73% of the bugs in the bottle. In another bottle, it was the same three species, but they made up 85% of the bugs. I've also tested BioDigest, Eco-Balance, PNS ProBio, and MB Clean. I have others to test, and what I've shared is on Instagram.

It's helping to clear the tank after you blow it all off. Remove the Marineland filter when you're done. You need to decide if you really have a problem. Sounds like you don't.

Fair enough, I guess when I blow my rocks off now the tank it's cloudy and takes a short time to clear so didn't see any difference to adding this that's all

Roger that, and even better. Free solutions are free!

Spore formers

Explains how it can be bottled and have a shelf life

I'll check Instagram

And none are marine, curious

 

[Solo McReefer]

I found the one with Serratia in it

Searching Instagram is a miserable chore


I gave up looking for them now

Zeovit types when we look in another zeovit fans fridge & see the mass of bottles
