All are important in but in balance with each other
"All of the above"
Didn't need much
"I used half the recommended dose. Worked perfectly without apparent damage to plants, fish or shrimp."
"Read good about the product. Hope it works well."
Decent
"great dosage instructions and came with a small spoon, doesnt affect shrimp"
It does stop algae growing, but won't kill algae, instead it kill stem plants!
"After applying it, green algae stops growing on glassware, or even disappear. However, the one already on plants or rock won't disappear unless you have fish/shrimp to help. The only negative effect is that stem plants, including S. Repen, Alternanthera Reineckii 'Mini', Ludwigia Natans Super Red and Ammania Senegalensis, all melt down. But, baby tears are not effected at all, still grow crazy if other conditions are right. So give it 3 star for the mixed results."
guess this is for low tech tanks only
"I has a small issue with some BBA read a lot of stuff and it recommended to use this ! I only did half a dose and 85% of my plans are not dead . I did not lose any live stock just plants . I should of just stuck with using peroxide like I did years ago just hard to buy any right now no one has any in stock from people hoarding it"
Apparently is Not Safe for Snails
"I emailed buceplant and asked if this product was snail safe, because it is not in the product description. I was emailed back and told it was not and that they would update the product description. That email was weeks ago, so I just wanted to warn snail keepers and spare them the grief of having dead snails. I rated 2 stars just because the description is inaccurate, but I will definitely change my rating when the description is updated."
I don't know if it
"I don't know if it was this product or my hydrogen peroxide treatment, but algae has cleared up"
I haven’t used it yet
"I haven’t used it yet but have it just in case"
Ruined My Tank
"I bought this product about a month ago I used it as the directions said it did work it got rid of the algae but after that phase my plants started to die and turn into nothing. So when I took out my old plants to replace with new ones same thing happened plants died this stuff gets into ur substrate and eliminates all nutrients for the plants !"
