Be careful with Vibrant, I went that route and was about 6 weeks in when I noticed my mandarin was down to skin and bones, I've never had an issue keeping pods and my sump has always had tons of pods but taking a flashlight to display and Sump after lights out last weekend there were none left. I really dropped the ball not noticing it sooner.
Reading different forums this can happen over time apparently and after 6 weeks I still have bubble algae, I would say about 75% less than when I started but at the expense of my mandarin I am afraid as i am not sure he can recover. My blennies and wrasse are noticeably thinner as well but confident they will be fine.
I bought 12000 pods from algaebarn and put them in Thursday and I do not see any of them this morning. In the past three days I have done a 100% water change hoping to get this product out of my tank and went to visit Dong today to get some seeded rubble to build my bio diversity back up. I will be placing another 12000 pod order this week. I believe it is the microfauna that was wiped out by vibrant that impacted the pod population but what was weird is my cheato was not affected at all by Vibrant and maintained its size the whole time just not growing like usual.
Lesson learned, let nature work it's magic and a little more elbow grease. I added 5 emerald crabs so hopefully with less BA they will take care of the rest.
