"Great product! I use it at each water change for all my aquariums, and when adding fish. Highly recommended."

— Nica

"Normally love this product. I always bought the 16oz bottles though. This gallon batch was off though. It's supposed to have an earthy smell to it not rotten eggs. So either it was bad luck or perhaps it wasn't stored properly I dunno."

Bottom Line

While effective, ensure you get a good batch; check for the typical earthy smell and avoid any with a rotten egg odor. Overall, it is a good product for those willing to carefully inspect their purchase.
