Customers say
Customers find the bacteria treatment works well for their aquariums and is perfect for setting up new tanks, appreciating its value and fish safety features. The ammonia levels show mixed results – while some customers report no ammonia or nitrite spikes, others experience high nitrite levels. The water clarity and speed of action also receive mixed feedback, with some customers reporting crystal clear water while others note cloudy conditions, and while many find it faster, one customer notes it’s not instant cycling.
