Hi all,
It doesn't make the product <"
any more useful">, it just reduces any remaining respect you may have had for <"
Practical Fishkeeping"> as an unbiased source of information . The best thing you can say is that they probably aren't going to do any harm.
I've got a very jaundiced view, but they are <"
just a gimmick">, there is no mention of which bacteria or what the food source might be.
Have a look at <"
Dr Timothy Hovanec's comments about Bacterial supplements"> and <"
Correspondence with Dr Ryan Newton - School of Freshwater Sciences, University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee">. I'm guessing the problem with having <"
science on your side"> is that it doesn't sell any magazines or magic bullets.
That is an
issue for <"
plants and time">, you <"
can't easily monetize it">.
I'm going to guess that probability means that they "work" for some people, it is nothing to do with the product, it is just <"
the passage of time"> that will mean the tanks will become more stable.
cheers Darrel
