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.

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.

I ordered the anti-cyano kit. Certainly it is an expensive product but it is effective, visible effect after three days. Nothing more after 5 days of treatment. No damage on corals and fish. I recommend it.

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.

Good morning, Mr. Chitel,

Thank you for taking the time to complete our satisfaction survey.
Do you filter on micron bag or perlon? Have you tried to distinguish the micro fauna at night when the lamp is off, with a flashlight or a flash for example?
Please send us a picture of your aquarium to help us get a better idea.

With kind regards
Customer Service

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to complete our satisfaction survey.
Please note that it can take up to 2 months for microfauna to appear in your aquarium. Look in the evening with a lamp to better distinguish it.
We advise not to filter on micron/macron bag or perlon for a good development of the microfauna.

With kind regards
Customer Service
