Hi,

I am going to document my use with Vibrant Aquarium Cleaner in a Nano Tank (Evo 13.5Gal).
I had GHA that subsequently turned into minor RHA, and have GBA on one frag plug (removed, cleaned, came back weeks later...).

Since I ordered vibrant, the RHA has spread across my substrate and on my rock very quickly (less than a week).

My filtration details are in my tank thread, I feed sparingly (< 1/day) and have low bio-load.

I am going to take the same shots (with little effort to show tank as-is) every couple days.
Started with 1.5ml dosage, will return to add more in 7 days.

Note: I am using homemade RO/DI reading zero TDS + Red Sea Pro Coral Salt

Day Zero (1/8/2017):
Notes:
  1. Algae on glass is soft, removed with regular scrubber every 1-2 days
  2. RHA covering substrate, affecting pink goni
  3. RHA covering rock, affecting zoas/palys in few areas
  4. GBA on green zoa frag

  3. RHA covering rock, affecting zoa/palys in few areas
  4. GBA on green zoa frag

Day Three:
Notes:
  1. Possible bacteria bloom, water is somewhat milky in nature. I have increased surface agitation to compensate and reached out to Underwater Creations, make of Vibrant for advice.
