I too tried it years ago. Both the straw and the concentrated extract. I seemed to do nothing. Don't waste your money. Really.....the only thing that got rid of my constant green water (due to fish overpopulation) was a bog filter. I went from solid green water to crystal clear within a week of star...

Hey Joe I see you found the place! fishwelcome.gif @poconojoe Yeah, I knew about it and had registered before, but been busy and plain forgot about the place! Glad you reminded me over at the other place. I was roaming around over there and thought to myself "Where the heck is brokensword ?&qu...
