it works
i don’t have algae eating fish so i noticed green algae growth on the corners of the tank, on the rocks and plant leaves. 4 days after adding the recommended dose the algae growth lessened and after a week or so it was too a bare minimum. some reviews about this product state that it doesn’t work and dont waste your time and money. i disagree completely because my Betta”shark” seems much happier and yes the algae growth is barely seen and the water is much much much cleaner. I’m really not into doing frequent water changes because it will disrupt the delicate balance of the aquarium environment. like i said, this product works! but nothing can last forever so for me replacing the water has been prolonged to about 2 months or so. i much rather use this than aquarium salt which btw can be harmful to your fish if used incorrectly. use only if your fish had an illness. this product is much more beneficial because fish need bacteria to survive. there was a review about a person mentioning that the product is just a marketing scam and it’s hard to believe that something ie: bacteria in a bottle sitting on a shelf cannot live for months on end waiting to be purchased and used. if this product is trulya scam and it doesn’t work then explain to me why my algae is suddenly almost gone?

Works great for cloudy water
Works great . My tank sometimes gets cloudy but once I put some of this in my tank itâs clear within a few hours .

Saved my goldfish!
Goldfish are messy little buggers and despite frequent filtration and water changes in my 75 gallon tank, the nitrate battle was real. The water was cloudy and I got very concerned when one of my goldfish had streaks of blood in his fins.This product was FANTASTIC.It worked nearly immediately and had continued to work wonders on the appearance and quality of our tank.Itâs incredibly easy to measure and use, works quickly and continuously, and keeps the tank stable and clear.There were no negative impacts on the fish and the sick fish made a full recovery and is doing better than ever.

Keeps everything clean
Pretty good and does no damage to the fish

It simply replaces all those starter kits as you can double the dose for a new aquarium to boost the biological filter. What a brilliant product! My guppies are happy with this.
