Default Re: Nitrate fix

HHHmmmm...sounds like it has worked as a temporary fix. Cant say too much not being familiar with the product. Read the website about it. Sounds interesting but probably nothing more than a nitrate sponge with a new twist of sorts.

I think I saw where you have 25 years experience and I have less than a year so Im probably telling you something you already know. Most things happen slow in a salt tank, even the bad stuff. Not like the popular saying "only bad things happen fast..." No body winds up with Cyano, Bryopsis, hair algae, high levels of Nitrates and bunches of other stuff overnight. It all starts and happens over time. You could be using a product that works short term and is doing other damage to your tank that at this time is undetectable but down the road might have consequences.

Are you going to continue to use this product as the website implies...change every month...?

Have you found what is really causing the higher than desireable nitrate levels and if so what actions have you taken?

Also, with the amount of new people that are here at RB, I would not be posting the use of this product as a way to deal with Nitrates but rather good marine husbandry techniques. IMHO

I appreciate your willingness to try new products and hope you continue to post how your tank is doing so we may all learn more about this product.
