Having issues with high nitrate 40ppm(20ppm post w/c on 8/22), hair algae, bryopsis and some cyano in a 4 gallon so I ordered the Pro Bio S and dosed a full dropper of bacteria and 2ml of vinegar on 8/23. Each day after I did 2ml vinegar and 2 drops Pro Bio S and as of this morning 8/27 nitrates undetectable with API and phosphate 0.03

 

This stuff works as advertised and with a lee's cc protein skimmer and no special media I dropped nitrates within 5 days. I paid $10 on Foster&Smith and for something so cheap it works I highly recommend it

Yeah just vinegar. I had to stop dosing because a massive dinoflagellate bloom just popped up and carbon apparently fuels it which seems to be true in my case. But yes vinegar worked for me with the Pro Bio S.

Cyano gone and hair algae turned brown and white within 2 days of stripping the water of nitrate and phosphate.

No it won't. It was brought in from frags and I created the environment for it to show up. The Pro S helped me drop nitrate and phosphate and in doing so I starved the hair algae and bryopsis which alliwed the dinos to have a non competitive environment.
