Warning: Use Vibrant at your own risk

That's why I added the smile. But I did roll my eyes!

I'll take this opportunity to suggest that after agreeing to the triple platinum sponsorship you also allow them to run a raffle where the prize is a 55 gallon drum of Busan 77, provided of course that no one gets a free entry into this raffle and must post likes and pictures every 12th minute of the hour for 40 days straight.

In the end they registered the product as should have from the start but were they penalized because it wasn't from the start? Noticed in other marketing there's no mention of bacteria that I could find or interpret. Seems defrauding the public does pay unless we are to believe they rebranded ALGAEFIX without knowing all they had was technically ALGAEFIX?

Since I guess that we are being cheeky, can we assume that there is no new species of algae eating bacteria that was discovered that only UWC knew about? Since the UWC headquarters in that residential part of Minnesota was not incinerated to the ground to save life on the planet as we know it, this is an OK assumption, right?

Funny.

The new species of bacteria is actually the tears of Big Foot. The tears contain a natural algaecide that keeps the fur or hair around their eyes from turning green from algae growth that you typically see on so many other cryptics. The really fascinating thing is that UWC is able to collect those tears.

It’s just Raid’s Weed Killer that they stole and rebranded as Big Foot’s Hairy, Green Eyelash Tears.

So I wonder if they actually source the material or do they have a load of empty algaefix bottles in their shop lol

Dang, fooled again

Just a bunch of labels to put on top of algaefix's label. Why would they rebottle it? That's to costly.

I lost way too many corals to vibrant. Not just corals but a group of rock flower nems. It made me think I was the reason somehow even though all other tests seemed ok...so I switched to fish only. Sure I'm happy with fish only now but I will never know if vibrant took out the tank or some other cause.

The problems did start when adding vibrant. Sadly, there is nothing I can do to remedy a problem that happened years ago.

It does not appear to be what UWC claims. Data clearly suggest it is an algaecide identical to Algaefix (see thread below)

IMO, this as a very serious breach of trust from a company that has insisted it is not an algaecide. It is also a clear breach of the Reef2Reef terms of service (about making misleading statements).

UWC refuses to respond to these allegations despite having been asked to do so.

Understanding Vibrant: Algaefix, Polixetonium Chloride / Busan 77

The purpose of this post is to look closely at Vibrant to compare its properties to a known algaecide, Algaefix by API. This is intended to shed light on the active ingredients in Vibrant, explain its mechanism of action, and give people insight into its use and what to expect. It is not a...
