Bacteria dosing?

Hi all,

Reading @Cpage101’s recent build thread update has gotten me curious on what are people’s thoughts on bacteria dosing? Is it snake oil? Or has it made an observable difference in your tanks?

There are many kinds of bacteria’s on the market. I have not seen any real difference other than when I was dosing PNS probio. I don’t think there is a need. i don’t think it is a noticeable thing unless you do a bacteria test before and after to see any real difference. When dosing the PNS probio the polyp extension difference was noticeable. anything noticeable would be antidotal if anything.

So that’s what I’ve heard too. PNS seems to be different in that it has a much better experience from people either in terms of feeding coral or beating cyano. Wonder what makes it different from microbacter etc.

microbactor ect… is allegedly just nitrifying bacteria
