No results, the process supposed to introduce microfauna and meiofauna has completely failed, so the product is useless.

When I last ordered, the micro fauna I received was dead, and a rotten water smell was coming out of it when I opened it.

The shipping was very speedy. But the communication is poor. You get on messages whether by mail, Facebook etc. you get no response. I have the problem that from the 10 day the nutrients have gone massively high. Here I wanted to know if it is possibly the product. But there is no answer and no help. To the product itself I can otherwise neither positive nor negaitv report. The nutrients I can not say exactly whether it comes from that. Therefore, only one star and at the price you can definitely expect some support. I would rather rely on Polyp Lab in the future.

Opinion: Totally ineffective in my case, dry loss of 150€ Having started this 400L Iwakuni 6 months ago with Daphbio products with efficiency. I turned to their range of products again when a cyano problem appeared in the same tank. The protocol was followed to the letter and even extended by 3 days. After that I was away for 4 days and when I came back, the cyano was totally invaded again. The products arrived in good condition and the tank has stable and correct parameters: KH:2 - GH:7 - NO2:0 - NO3:1- PH:7.1- PO4:0.1 - LED lighting 130w - remineralized osmosed water - biological filtration 30L of pozzolan in the tank 7L in the filter - no chemical filtration

Hello, we are sorry to read your message.
However, there are some algae that really look like cyanos but are not and in this case our product is not effective.
That is why we ask for pictures before and even after the treatment to make sure that it was effective and that the algae was detected.
According to our experts, the algae you are suffering from can be treated with Bactoreef over 4 weeks.
We remain at your disposal via customer service or social networks if you want to know more or send us one or more photos of your aquarium

The products are shipped close to expiration, given the cost should be clarified this aspect before shipping. Disappointing also the customer service.

I followed the protocol to the letter, and no trace of life after more than 3 weeks, even with a magnifying glass. With 30 years of aquaristics I confirm that nothing is better than live stones to seed the aquarium.

Answer from daphbio
Hello Pierre-Yves, first of all thank you for your feedback.
3 weeks is much too early to see microfauna, depending on the size of the tank it can take up to 3 months. Then the live rocks we can't find any more, the import is forbidden since 4 years and it's far from being a panacea because you can get covered with pests and many have stopped marine aquarium because of these same pests. Follow our protocol as defined on our blog "How to start a reef aquarium" and you will see that everything will go well (the protocol has been followed more than 20,000 times without any problems).
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, we are here to help you.

Answer from daphbio
Hello Ludovic, first of all thank you for taking the time to answer and give your opinion.
Indeed, the microfauna can take up to 3 months to appear, it varies depending on the aquarium and the quality of the stones.
On our Marcorocks, for example, it appears more quickly than on stones that are older or second hand.

Do not hesitate to contact us for more information.

The seawater aquarium starter kit. Avoid!!!! The exorbitant price, the protocol followed from A to Z, in the end the aquarium is not cycled at all, 6 weeks of use - the time wasted . You had to buy something else. Very disappointed.
