I have had an issue with blue / green water in my 75 gallon planted tank for over two weeks. I was thinking of getting a uv sterilizer because everyone online said they really have no luck with products like this one. I wanted to try this first because it is less MONEY. I added 5ml to my tank yesterday and in less than one hour it was sparkling clear. Amazing what one teaspoon of this will do. I did take before and after pictures if anyone wants to see them, look below.
Pros: works great, easy to use

picked this up today at the local Petsmart. Have been battling green algae in my ten gal tank for months now. Saw it, bought it (so inexpensive what can it hurt?) and measured out. my only gripe is that so very little is needed that it is difficult to measure out accurately. 1ml per 12 gallons. I have a measuring device that worked fine but not everyone does. I used a pediatric medicine dropper that has ml graduations. An hour later my tank is clear!Holy Cow! this stuff is amazing! Even the fish are wondering what happened. I didn't even think to take before and after pics but it would have been remarkable to show.
Pros: works great, easy to use
