Unlike other purchases I've made from daphbio, this time the anti cyanobzcterie seawater kit didn't work at all in my aquarium. Even though it was invaded. A real shame. I'm used to much better with daphbio

Answer from daphbio
Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

First of all, it's important to determine whether the algae you have is cyanobacteria. Then, if the cyano is coming back regularly, it may be related to your stones (see the blog post about old tank syndrome at https://www.daphbio.fr/fr/blog/la-solution-au-syndrome-du-vieux-bac--n45).

Don't hesitate to send us a photo of your aquarium, we'll be delighted to help.

Best regards

Hello,

You need to give the microfauna time to establish itself in your aquarium. It can take between 1 and 2 months to appear.

Best regards

The anti-cyano product had no effect, even when the protocol was extended longer than expected (my aquarium is only 100L). The other 'bactofresh' bottle seems to have boosted plant growth. Not knowing exactly what's in it, it's hard to say if it's related or just a coincidence. Very disappointed considering the price!

The daphnia and other microfauna culture kit arrived almost a week late and the few daphnia that were still alive when I received my package (after 4pm) died within 48 hours after the kit was put in place, despite the fact that I had poured the entire contents of the phytoplankton bottle upon receipt. I was forced to pay for an express delivery, only to receive none of the benefits of this delivery method. I would have preferred that the store be honest and warn its customers of the randomness of a delivery in Switzerland. I was the one who had to call the customer service twice to finally unblock the situation (as if UPS didn't have my building code even though my phone numbers were written on the package). In short! Very disappointed, because it's a daphnia culture kit but in fact it's better to give everything to the fishes as soon as you receive it, especially when your objective is to feed the fishes.

Aquarium with only rocks and aragonite sand. I was hoping that there would be a change of gear in the maturation but unfortunately nothing has shown up. The tank has not started at all. I remain convinced that unless inoculations are made with live material, the bacteria, eggs, etc. inserted are absolutely not enough. Disappointed

Package arrived late because of lack of ups, a day not decided and that did not suit me because of work, Microfauna arrived dead, 3 weeks later still no sign of life. After contact with the service daphbio by mail, no alternative solution proposed on the contrary they remain camped on their opinion (not their fault blabla........) so result I have to restart a complete seeding protocol with another brand and daphbio it's over for me more than 100 € lost.

I bought bactofresh and micro macro life to test in my 60l aquascaping full planted with technical soil so osmosed water remineralized gh+ and injection of co2. Surprise by opening the package there was a 3rd small bottle ... A guppy !!! I may have misread my order that there was a live one as a gift, in which case I would have refused. All this to say: DO NOT OFFER FISH The parameters of my tank are not at all adapted to guppies, one week after the introduction, jump of tank, death, there you go... After the product is perhaps good, to see.

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

Answer from daphbio
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
