I recently grabbed my first bottle, it's too soon to notice any concrete results, but I feel like it's doing *something*.
My nutrients were getting high, GHA taking over, and generally dirty looking water.
Since beginning the treatment a week ago, my tank looks somewhat clearer, but not majorly. I haven't tested phos in a few days, but it was on the downtrend last I checked. My GHA is still there and still growing, but it definitely seems to have lost some vigor. It was a deep green and held on tight. Now it looks like it's a duller brownish-green and is not growing so fast.
I've seeded my sand bed, rocks, and filter media with the stuff. Since doing so, I have noticed the cyano in the deep section of my sand has been replaced with a purplish-red film and my one problematic rock has also turned the same reddish color, so I can see where the bacteria has colonized in some areas which is cool. Whether or not it does the job for nutrient export remains to be seen, but i do think it's a fascinating product.
