Best Bacteria for your saltwater reef tank

[@nammek]

Wow bro now this is the first videos that actually shows results. Great Job man. You cannot beat videos such as this.

[@mustardketchup]

Thanks for doing that. You can read for hours on forums about this product as to whether it has anything in it, and its benefit to a tank. Thanks again!

[@scotty2salty327]

I'm using the Microbacter Start XLM now to cycle my tank. That's amazing that you guys spent the time and money to research a similar product! Thanks! Now I'm confident beyond a doubt that what I paid for in that bottle is doing its job. Much appreciated and such a cool & thorough video!

[@metrokatnyc24]

XLM is live Nitrifying bacteria - 15X stronger than competitors. It's Brightwell's newest product and works great. MicroBacter7 is their flagship product. Can't go wrong with any Brightwell MicroBacter product really.

[@darthcon34]

@@metrokatnyc24 I just bought Xlm do you add it every day until the bottle is empty or just once?

[@jjmccloud]

​@@darthcon34 Dosage is on the bottle, depending on your situation or purpose of dosing itll just depend

We would have liked to quantitative that more but due to cost issues and such we were very pleased to see the heavy growth and consistent growth on each plate. So the baseline tank plates were close to negative, and the reports via the labs on the plates after the adding the product were very consistent with no major contamination, which to us was pleasing to us. We still use this product weekly and love it.

[@anizato]

really good video man, it is not often you see a straightforward documentary

[@CriticalErA]

You just proved so many people wrong! excellent video!

[@IvasawaJin2]

i use this everyday and this makes me happy that i spent all that money on something so good.

[@OyeOhIsrael]

wow... What an awesome thing to do, and than share with us.. Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful information at your time and expense..

[@matthewjames7394]

Exactly the video I was looking for! Very well made! I appreciate the video! Subscribed and liked!👍

[@gtirlad08]

Fantastic video mate,there's lots of products out there that say they do this and that but you can only take there word for it.....I was abit(should I buy or not)after seeing your video I'm sold,thumbs up to you,the makers of this product should be paying you

[@metsdynastyx]

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing this knowledge

[@nickclub]

Great vid, thanks for your hard work. I was on the fence but now I am sold!

[@RMSpeltzFarm]

Thanks for your kind words and I hope you find other videos also helpful.

[@jamiewilson8477]

Awesome job. Nice to be certain about the quality of the product, too.

[@shawnburge4978]

The 💩 we do for our tanks lol Great vid, thanks bro

[@Sonny__b]

amazing video awesome that you did this for people like us to benefit!

[@chwkreefer8777]

Great video. Thanks for putting this together. Much appreciated.

[@RMSpeltzFarm]

The tank was bleached and RO DI water with salt via reef crystals was added to the tank then we plated, the result on those ten plates were 8 negative and to with growth, one was malazzeia and another was I think bacis cocci areobic growth and since not consisent we assume containinated some how. As far as after we added the product, all the plates grew a group of bacillus bacteria.

[@dancetweety10]

Really great stuff. You went out of your way here becouse labs are not cheap.

[@RMSpeltzFarm]

DanceTweety Looney Tune thanks

[@Redpine2000]

thanks we cannot have a better review!

[@jaemeh09]

Dr Tim’s recommends running the temp higher 82 to 84 degrees and salinity lower 1.016

[@IvasawaJin2]

Top Notch Stuff . Impressive . I love this product at saw results but i had doubts that it has live bacteria in it . but now we know .

[@RMSpeltzFarm]

Very good suggestion but hard to science-wise measure the success. I have thought about how to prove it continues to be of benefit other then my success and opinion and its really hard to prove without two identical systems

[@karennation3580]

I was just abouyt to switch to another cheaper brand but I know that dr tims require much more product to be used and so does Fritz like 4 x the amount of MB7. I am pretty sure that MB7 has kept my nitrate s in control so after this very informative video! even better then brs! i am definitely going to sitck with mb 7. I know its costs out of your pocket but would have been nice to check other products like Seachem and Microbe which are the two contenders i was thinking of switching too

[@mails2thiagu]

very good review ! good work. it was very useful, I was looking about this

[@RMSpeltzFarm]

We set out to prove 1# if the product really is full of live bacteria? Yes it is, and the bacteria we know based on the cultures. Your right anaerobics didnt grow. We set out to prove 2# can it last longer then 24 hours in an aquarium? Yes it can. We did get quantity results but off blood plates after it had been incubated also we did not type the different species of bacillus that were cultured for we dont have endless budgets but feel free to re-due this experimentif you like=)

[@SIMUANGCO2468]

Thank you for doing this!!!!!! You are a great person!!!!!

[@mjr3204]

This was awesome. Thank you.

[@bbingtube]

Nice buddy 👌

[@RMSpeltzFarm]

Thanks, appreciate the new nice comment

[@peterh6504]

Hi there, in your video you commented that the bacteria culture had a high density rate but didnt mention how many types were found. It seem like there was only one type. The product is supposed to have multiple strains including an anerobic type, which you mention there were none. So, yes its great that there were a high rate of living bacteria, but does the product contain all that it says it contains?

[@bboytrez]

very good review. subscribed!

[@Th3mast3r69]

Very nice study. Thanks

[@madmanhiker]

Thank you! Great video!

[@tplummer217]

Thanks for this!

[@jmdelira87]

Amazing video

[@epsyuma]

Very well done! Thank you.

[@Sisco296]

Hi there Reefdvm great work on this video - keep em coming. Now I have a suggestion for you in regards to the product you are reviewing. Now you have it down to a science. You've proven that the bacteria is alive in the bottle and that it can stay alive for x amount of time in a saltwater aqaurium. Now can you examine how well the product works? How well will the cycle go? Anyways, I'm getting tired so I'm off to the races. If you could it would be very interesting to see how it all pans out!

[@g35robby]

Awesome video!

[@user-xk3uq7of9i]

Great video! Does anybody know what species of autotrophic bacteria they use? I have a bottle and I'm almost out, I'm thinking I could increase the bacteria population in the bottle if knew what sort of bacteria was being used. I have a large hair algae problem and it seems 500ml bottle isn't enough XD and Bright well isn't widely available In Ireland. If they don't reproduce in saltwater I guess there a freshwater species and the low pH in the bottle suggest they thrive in slightly acidic water. Any ideas?

[@cgh1117]

Did any of the labs give you Genus- or species-level info? If so, could you please post it? I am curious about what's actually in the product and if it could be cultured easily.

[@jnrandall]

great video.

[@jbsmangrovelagoon]

Sorry I'm a little late to the party but I'm dosing bacteria into my saltwater aquarium now.

[@haiduong2760]

Thank you for the Video :)

[@RMSpeltzFarm]

thanks

[@TheDjMaxims]

Fritzzyme Turbo Start is way stronger and works better than any other bac out there. youtube " FRTIZZYME TURBO START 900" . I believe in this product as they culture saltwater specific strains compared to other products.

[@RMSpeltzFarm]

We will look into it, always good to look into new things

[@jacobelliott6528]

you should have done a control tank that didnt have the additive to see just how much it increased the rate of bacteria!!!

[@OswaldBeef]

I thought standard water was 1.0000 why do you state 1.011?

[@cristerzambrano934]

it’s anyone experiencing a lower alkalinity with this product?

[@Zapton5]

Nice video but I have never questioned if they put something living in it. But if it was alive buy the time I buy it. Ok you proved that. Something was living in it. But did he lab find any that died? And if so what percentage was dead? And I am still looking for the names of the three bacteria that do all this wonderful work for me. But that is kind of dead information that nobody seems to use. This is old. But you never know where you are going to find what your looking for.

[@NickLiang]

Each company create various strains of bacteria, it is generally their secret otherwise people can manufacture their products. It's no different than cooking food and putting it in the fridge. It doesn't kill the bacteria as such but put them into a dormant state and they will activate once put into the right conditions. If you take out food and leave it at room temp, it will decay very quickly. Once this bacteria hits the saltwater at the right temp and salinity, it will activate them and they will start to multiply with a nutrition source.

[@jerryb1195]

the bacteria is not stored in glass or water is stored in the rock or sand

[@jxp56646]

How can a bacteria stay alive in a bottle?

[@alexdiaz3816]

Hey i need help i have a 55 gal freshwater cichlid tank and ima start using micro bacter 7 do i add it daily or weekly and how much do i add they told me a cap full weekly? Plz helppp🙏🏼

[@nicolasnavarro6629]

Booooooring!!!

[@Enorugger1]

Funny, it was full of info and answered questions... can you provide the link to your own comparable more entertaining video than this one? No? Ok
