All of the word of mouth and message board hype of Bio Spira on the Internet and in some aquarium magazines has resulted in off the charts demand for the product, which has completely exhausted Marineland Lab's supply.

Marineland has chosen to completely regrow their supply over the summer before shipping out anymore so as to avoid another shortage.

Marineland will NOT be releasing any more Freshwater Bio-spira until probably some time in Sept.!!! I am cutting off any further orders of FW Bio-spira as well. I will be filling those orders taken to date but no more until Marineland opens it back up.

The Salt Bio-spira is continuing as normal and, in fact, will have a 1oz package out sometime the first week of April!

The concept of putting out an "open shelf stock" version of Bio-spira was cancelled (as we figured) because it was generally agreed and admitted that non-refrigerated shelf-life does deteriorate too quickly.

The whole reasoning from Marineland goes like this:

The demand has completely "outstripped" their capability to re-generate enough growth of the bacteria to meet demands..... and they would have continued difficulty meeting orders. Their thinking is to use all the bacteria growth throughout the summer to build a sufficient back-stock to once again re-release the product with enough on hand to fully meet demands.

WOW thanks for in information. It would almost make you want to find some in your local area to help others that might need it, but the problem of keeping it cold sad.gif

I just heard this at our local Aquarium Adventure. They had to tap thier emergency supplies. They'd have to start all over again if they continued shipping. It makes you think it's really good stuff. smile.gif
