Different Products..

[Pooky125]

After my uncle gave me his aquarium I went digging through the various bottles, and came across a couple that I haven't heard of before, and so, before I use them, I'd like your opinion on them... I think there all brand new, but I can't say that for sure..

The first one is Easy Balance by Tetra Aqua? - eliminates water changes

Algae Destroy Liquid by Aquarium Pharmaceuticals? - Destroys Algae

Cycle by Hagen? Bacteria culture

Waste Control by Biocare - Controls Organic Waste

and last but not least A.C.T. by Mardel - Bacterial Culture

Anyway, any info on any of these products would be great.. thx

IMO, they're all snake oil. Throw 'em in the trash.

Maybe only the bacterial cultures, if they've been kept cool. The rest are usually not needed if you maintain your tank properly. *twirlysmiley*

I agree. throw them away.

Yup, I third that notion. The bacterial stuff is probably dead and will be no help to you at all. I am familiar with all those products, but your best bet would be to get the product descritions from the company websites. I know Tetra has one for the Easy Balance and all the rest of their products.

The only product you need for your tank is a tap water conditioner. Whether you use Stress Coat, NovAqua, or AquaPlus is up to you.
