This snake oil?

[srusso]

I have great respect for the BRS team, always noticed your site was largely void of snake oil products. I have no experience with this product and would like to assume these claims are true but I have got to say... This one seems like a real "snake-y one"...

I like Dr. Tim's Waste the regular version not too sure about this one however.

The dosing size is what makes me suspect. $11 for a size that is only good for 10g tanks? Is someone with a 100g tank really going to look at buying 10 of these to throw in the sump?

They actually have larger units. My discussion here is how can this even work? What is the science of it? Maybe worth a BRS investigation?

Yes, Yes it is.

I'm no microbiologist, nor can I claim I have a scientific idea of how this works specifically.

It's likely a proprietary bacterial blend from Dr. Tim and I'll reach him directly to see if he can shed some light on how the process works. Would be a good one to test in some Investigates tanks where maybe we could build up some detritus in multiple tanks and use this in a couple to see if we can replicate the effects that the label suggests.

I a freshwater version of this for my freshwater tank in a my aquarium box subscription and honestly it was a waste I noticed no difference at all

FWIW, I shared this thread with Dr. Tim directly and he said he would create a R2R account and jump in to share his knowledge!

 

[Neo Jeo]

Following! Crazy Dr. T doesn't have an account already!

All joking aside, I want to keep things respectful here. Ryan was awesome and willing to contact Dr Tim who is also willing to discuss his products with us. I couldn't imagine Dr Tim would want discuss the product if we are roasting him before he arrives.

I agree it's amazing to have this level of interaction with a vendor and product creator.

This hobby makes my head spin sometimes! haha, interested to see what comes of this thread.

 

[FishingLovingSons]

Tagging along for this one! Anytime I see Dr Tim on any article or product I read up on it... and LOL that he finally is going to get an R2R account! Someone make sure to point him towards the Meet & Greet forum!!!

 

[Fritzhamer]

Very cool!

 

[MTBake]

Curious on this as well. In for the notifications

 

[DSC reef]

Having met Dr. Tim on a few occasions, he's always willing to discuss and share his knowledge.

 

[Potatohead]

Let's hope that Dr. Tim isn't like Dr. Nick
