My experience since the day I got it, First day I was excited everything was working, about a few days later my Dog some how got it off and chewed it up. Waste of money. The collar comes off and it doesn’t stay on you gotta keep manually turning the collar back on.: Works well

A.L.: It’s been many years since we attempted to have an aquarium with fish. I don’t remember a product like this back then. After the chlorine is removed (using a different product), this product is supposed to minimize or remove the need to do the “tank cycling” to get the water ready for occupants. I add small amounts as directed on the label when I do water changes, in between water changes, but no less than once per week or ever other week. So far, it has not been difficult to keep the pH, ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates at good levels. I started with a small bottle and decided to get the big one 16 fl oz. I think it’ll be worth it. So far I haven’t lost any fish (6 fish in a 10 gallon tank, led lights, water pump with filter, air pump for extra oxygen, heater, and oxygenating plants) and it’s been about 2 months.

Rob Adams: Excellent product, I have owned my own tank business and personal tanks. This product absolutely helps speed up the cycling process and doesn't effect anything else in the water such as Ph. A must for a faster safe way to speed up cycling for tank.

Sarah: I adore this product and recommend it to everyone who is new to the hobby or struggling with cycling their tanks. I wish the label mentioned that it's more effective to add some fish food or organic matter along with this product to a new tank, but this is SOOOO much better than nothing, and easier/quicker/more accessible than getting new fish owners to cycle a tank properly.
It's also great for immediately normalising parameters after a water change for more experienced hobbyists. I'll always have a bottle around.
Well worth the money, especially for people who are just getting started and want an easy start and healthy fish.

★AM1 Engineer★: Last year I made the conversion to planted tanks and ever since then, I have been battling cyanobacteria in my 75 gallon tank. Ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates were always great, but within 1-2 days of an extremely thorough tank maintenance session (1-2 hours of cleaning plants, wood, walls, rocks + water change), the cyanobacteria population would explode. If I didn't address it right away, the plants, substrate, walls, heater, and filter would be covered in sheets of cyanobacteria. Take maintenance every 1-2 days was not very sustainable.

I tried feeding less, feeding flakes vs crisps vs round pellets. Some types of food exacerbated the issue. Pellets and the premium gel food helped combat the growth of cyanobacteria but I still had to do tank maintenance every 3-4 days.

I tried completely resetting the tank using the existing plants (cleaned) and swapping wood for rocks. I tried adding $300 worth of plants, in addition to what was already planted. I tried moving plants and decor around for optimal water flow so there weren't any dead spots.

I tried moving from a canister filter to an external filter. Then I upgraded to a higher capacity external filter to...
