## Description

desertcart.com : Dr. Tim’s Aquatics Saltwater Waste-Away Sludge Busting Bacteria – For Saltwater Aquaria, Fish Tanks, Aquariums – Unclogs, Cleans Gravel Beds, Removes Hidden Wastes – 100% Natural – 16 Oz. : Aquarium Treatments : Pet Supplies

Review: Works as described. - I just purchased 4 more bottles. I use about 4-6 oz every 3-4 days in my 200 gal tank that has been plagued for the past 4 years with an algae problem due to built up nutrients in the live rock. This product along with my protein skimmer is doing the trick to slowly remove nutrients from the rock. Not only did I stop scrubbing my rock, but I'm noticing algae reverse itself. Corals are happy too and I believe I had 4 fish die earlier due to bad bacterial populations. One more thing, sand is clean as can be! I bought this brand because Dr. TIm explained that his strains are specific to natural reefs unlike the other ones. Open the bottle, and it doesn't stink to high heaven like some other ones. Highly recommended.
Review: Cool beans - Awesome product. This really cleaned up my dead coral even after spending time at the car wash giving them a hefty rinse! Let it bubble away in a barrel for 10 days and now my coral is clean and ready to be placed in tank. Great stuff.
