herefishiefishie Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Natural, so is it similar to geo liquid then? What color is it? Liquid form???? Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim r Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Yeah Evil that is the company but the phamflet claims it consists of live naturally occuring nitrifying and spore-forming bacteria, clears green water,non toxic and not a chemical. I do not know what geo liquid is Frenchy but this stuff is a clear liquid. I have been told that Rotorua council have trialled it and are going to put it into the lake.(don't know if that is true) might keep an eye on this one.

alanmin4304 Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 It sounds like it is the bacteria used in cycling. Since bacteria double every 20 minutes and you can fit over a million on a pin head it doesn't take long to get the numbers required naturally if your conditions are right. If your conditions are not right the bugs will die off anyway. The pet shops will love it as much as the chemicals sold in Christchurch to remove the chlorine from the non chlorinated water supply. About as usefull as a fridge in Alaska. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2fishy Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Its works along the same lines as 'cycle' and 'stresszyme'. we have customers that swear by it and only will use the TLC. It also does clear cloudy water and helps reduce algae. While i was in charge of fish at AA i used it and it definitely made a difference to the water quality and the fish deaths were at an all time low. I do believe its true about it being trialled in rotorua lake, also used in hamilton gardens and in a lot of sewerage plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
