A: This is solely my opinion, and I truly appreciate everyone’s questions, feedback, and engagement. I apologize for the length, but I wanted to ensure all details are fully outlined. Your support and curiosity mean a lot, and I’m grateful for the thoughtful discussions we’ve had. Thank you for taking the time
MicroBacter Purple, Hydrospace PNS ProBio, and my PNS Bacteria all introduce beneficial bacteria into reef systems, but each has unique strengths and applications.
MicroBacter Purple introduces photosynthetic bacteria that aid in microbial balance, waste breakdown, and coral nutrition. However, its effectiveness is strongly tied to the use of additional products they claim MicroBacter 7 and MicroBacter Clean. To fully achieve the intended benefits, reef keepers would likely need to purchase multiple supplements, increasing overall costs.
Hydrospace PNS ProBio has long been recognized for its effectiveness in nutrient export, leveraging purple non-sulfur bacteria to help reduce nitrates and phosphates while maintaining water clarity and microbial balance. These bacteria serve a dual purpose, supporting both nutrient reduction and coral nutrition, making PNS ProBio a go-to choice among reef keepers looking for both stability and feeding benefits.
My PNS Bacteria delivers many of the same core advantages as Hydrospace’s PNS ProBio. It helps reduce excess nutrients, improves water clarity, and acts as a natural food source for corals. With consistent use and proper, stable elements, it promotes strong polyp extension and enhances color vibrancy in corals and clams. While it may not yet have the same recognition as Hydrospace’s product, reef keepers who use it have reported noticeable improvements in their systems, and I’m working to get the word out. Additionally, my PNS Bacteria is guaranteed to stay alive and fresh as long as it is used within eight months to a year. If stored with a light source, it can remain viable for a full year, ensuring reef keepers get consistent results for the duration of its shelf life. And for added assurance, if it doesn’t remain viable within that timeframe, I offer a free replacement because I stand by the quality of my product. Not to mention, my pricing includes significant savings on shipping, making bulk purchases even more cost-effective.
Price Comparison:
MicroBacter Purple M
16 oz: $26.99
32 oz: $35.99
Hydrospace PNS ProBio
16 oz: $28.99
1 gallon: $223.99
My PNS Bacteria
1 quart (32 oz): $45
1 gallon: $150 shipped (best deal, includes an extra quart for free)
Not only does my gallon pricing stand out, offering a $73.99 savings compared to Hydrospace’s option, but it also saves reef keepers money on shipping when purchasing in bulk. The gallon deal ensures maximum value, making my PNS Bacteria an excellent cost-effective alternative without compromising effectiveness.
As more hobbyists discover the advantages of my PNS Bacteria, it’s becoming a strong contender in the world of nutrient management and coral health. The goal is to provide reef keepers with a reliable, effective, and economical alternative that delivers real, measurable results—backed by my freshness guarantee and free replacement offer.
Finally, I just want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone for your incredible support! The positive feedback I’ve received has been truly motivating, and it's allowing me to expand into new cultures and additional PNS bacteria that will be available soon. I couldn’t have done this without everyone's encouragement, and I’m excited to keep bringing quality bacterial supplements to the reef-keeping community. Your trust and enthusiasm mean everything!
