mark_reefer Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 AquaBella Bio-Enzyme Treatment Has anyone tried this product? My LFS is selling it and say they use it in all of their tanks. They claim all their fish and coral are thriving and I must say that the tanks look great. I tried looking for online reviews but the company seems to be relatively new. Main Product "Facts": - 100% naturally occurring organic microorganisms - Regulates and maintains healthy pH levels - Breaks down ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates - Reduces phosphates - Prevents algae bloom - No water change for a year GUARANTEE Seems to good to be true... But for $30, I just might try it. Any thoughts? Link to comment
Pickle010 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Does this gimick replace nutrients and essential elements that are normally replenished with weekly water changes? Link to comment
mark_reefer Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 I was thinking the same thing. There's no way this product can supply the nutrients gained from weekly water changes. Link to comment
Bill Nye Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I dont know why you wouldnt want to do a water change, especially in a small tank. Replaces essential nutrients in your tank and you can remove detritus while doing it...all in about 10 minutes. Link to comment

I shut my pumps off, dip in two cups and refill the 2 I dumped, and turn on my pumps. Takes me about 3 minutes. I also use the time to count up my CUC and make sure there are no die-offs or algae (I was plagued with Algae before I started this routine). Good luck! Link to comment
mark_reefer Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 So I tried this product out in my fluval tank and after treatment, the brown algae was gone in a few days and the water is crystal clear and my params are all zero. But I still do weekly water changes in order to keep essential elements up to par. So far so good Link to comment
jbb Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 So I tried this product out in my fluval tank and after treatment, the brown algae was gone in a few days and the water is crystal clear and my params are all zero. But I still do weekly water changes in order to keep essential elements up to par. So far so good Not to "rain on your parade" but if you are still doing your weekly water changes , how do you know that the product is working? to me that isnt a very good indicator that it works due to the fact that frequent W/C can reverse the algae by removing the nutrients needed for algae to grow. I'm not saying that you should stop dong W/C but if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. Link to comment
