"They eat and poop a lot."

1st day, I put product in tank with Fluval Biological Cleaner for Aquariums also. I have a 5 gallon tank, so that number was waaaay too high for me. It's a must for anyone who loves Goldfish. You have to understand when to use this product, and what is is used for. Very good product for an unbelievable price. Way to go Fluval keep up the good WORK! However if you want a stress coat, this is perfect.

"My fish kept dying."

The equation is already done for you if you buy Dr. Thanks to the Amazon reviewer who mentioned this! The aquasafe water conditioner is a fantastic de-chlorinator. I'm sold on this, I've tried SO MANY and wow. I read another review for this product saying they were using API for this purpose.

"No argument from me."

You need a source of ammonia to feed the bacteria which Dr. This product is exactly what it says it is. This is definitely worth trying if you have cloudy water. Crystal clear after changing water and adding this to my 2. I've used API water conditioner before and it works well. It just hasn't helped with the tint. I have had aquariums for 40 years and have always used their product Cycle.

It is just as good when compared to other brands of conditioner. Just an idea incase someone doesn't have a spare dropper. During cycling you will be using often.

"Wonderful product."

If you're treating injured fins or introducing new fish, this is for you. It's an All Natural Product with out of this world results. It gets rid of the chlorine in tap water. More doesn't hurt anything, but it's just wasted. This is definitely worth trying if you have cloudy water. If you're serious about fish keeping, always quarantine and always use Stress Coat! UV light works on it but not much else.

Makes me want to get more aquarium's, lol. Yes I know, they aren't supposed to live that long and no I can't prove it.

By the following morning, the water was clear of algae. DON'T just wait everything will be fine.

"Crystal clear in fact."

I finally gave in and purchased this product. 4-5 squirts in a sink of water, soak my suit 10 min, wring out and hang to dry. Fish would die occassionally every few weeks or so. Now our fish have grown and we've added live plants. I hope it makes the swimsuit last longer. The reviews on people fish dying really spooked me. Sure enough they are back to their healthy coloration and didn't end up dying on me.
