Orca Cubes and Prodibio

[RiaanP]

Just a though.

Prodibio Prodibio Spots and Velvets can be used for Whitespot treatment.

Fot tanks under 100L on day 9, and for tanks bigger than 100L on day 6 you stop the treatment and add a vail of BioDigest_Start

BioDigest_Start is a concentrated bacterial solution which biologically filters and eliminates aquarium waste. It allows to start biological filtration

Including BioDigest_Start obviously means that the treatment greatly impacts your bacterial colony in your tank. I doubt that it will be safe to use if your main filtration depends on a DSB.

Anyway, what would the impact be on Orca cubes. The cubes do depend on yeast, instead of bacteria. But could there be an issue?

As yeast is a living organism they will be affected.

 

[butcherman]

I think its safe to assume all biological filtration will be effected NP pellets sponge filters etc

 

[williet]

That is correct. Will affect and bear in mind that Ocra cubes are yeast based and dosing the biodigest start will not do anything for the cubes....

It does have a very interesting composition

The vials A and B contain per mL:
• 0.10 mg of 6,9-Diamino-2-ethoxyacridine-DL-lactate
monohydrate (ethacridine lactate)
• 0.05 mg of Hexamethylpararosaniline chloride (crystal
violet)
• 1.25 mg of N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethyl-4,4′-diamino
triphenylcarbenium oxalate (malachite green oxalate)
•0.10 mg of 3,7-bis(Dimethylamino)phenazathionium
chloride (methylene blue)


Would also say not reef safe​
