Can you post a link to RD probiotic? My filters looks way dirtier than that in six months.

Is this the same probiotic found in hikari bio gold + pellets?

The link is the first sticky in "Freshwater disease and health issues forum"

Not the same probiotic, RD's thread will have a good explanation

Wow, no kidding. My fx5 filters only start to look that good after 5 minutes of rinsing.
Absolutely will have to check RD's thread.

My FX 5 is typically mud when I open it

Septobac is a Spector tank product correct?

This is really interesting. As long as the bacteria don't pose a threat to the fish, it's a great way to keep the filters cleaner.

It is actually a septic tank product not at all marketed for aquarium use. The US equivalent is RidX

thats because we're swapping out the socks soo frequently debris doesnt build up. I still dose modt of the tanks though.

Another benefit is not having to clean the substrate or gravel vac. Waste breaks up and gets sucked into the sump/filters


When i was using cans...the probiotic was a life saver

That is how I am feeling about it now.

That is great stuff! Thanks for sharing

Thanks to RD for posting the thread.

For you lazy daisies

I started doing this last week and have already noticed a huge difference

I haven't cleaned my canister since I started dosing Rid-x but will report back when I do.

Thanks for sharing your results!

Any reason to believe this would help with my Panaque waste? It's like sawdust in the filter.

In theory it should but i didnt notice a big impact with pleco waste.

Burbotman just wondering if you are still using SeptoBac, and if so how often, and how much do you use?

I think that your pics are worth a thousand words!
