Will kill your fish - use less than recommended

I used this product as intended in a 50 gallon aquarium. I did the first treatment and then 3 days later I gave the second dose as directed on the packet. The day after the second treatment all the fish in my tank were dead except my measles. I have now done a 50% water change and the measles seems fine. Very upset with the rest of my little boys. I have had these fish for several years and am very sad that I let them die while trying to use what I believe to be a proven product.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Worked fast on fish & aquatic animals

I've been dealing with cloudy water in the aquarium for about 3 months; Persistent, slightly greenish fog that never cleared. I didn't want to add any more chemicals to the aquarium, so I tried natural solutions: lowering the temperature a bit, reducing lighting and feeding, and increasing the frequency of partial water changes. All for free. Due to reviews stating that Aleafix has killed some users, I only used half the dose in my 20 gallon tank. After two hours the water was crystal clear; Aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Crumpled

Kills everything, including fish

Kills everything, including fish! Works well. The algae seemed to melt instantly and float to the top for easy removal. But it killed my favorite mollys. I am an experienced fish farmer. I carefully added the product as instructed. At first he was strange, swimming chaotically. Then he swam to the bottom of the tank in place. Then he lay lazily on the ground and did not eat. I completely replaced the contaminated water. I added less than a teaspoon. To save my 3 year old from a sad speech Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Do not do that! Product stuns fish

I was very excited when I tried this product for the first time. For the first few days the tank looked SO much better with less algae (shockingly better). The problem is that after I did the 2nd dose exactly as directed on the bottle all the fish stopped moving. It looked like they were suspended in jelly. They were alive but not swimming at all. Everyone just sat still. So I removed 90% of the water and suddenly the fish started swimming. The algae came back after a few days so I bought twoโ€ฆ

  • beautiful thing
Cons
  • frequency

Do not mix with the fish in the aquarium!

You should add to your instructions to put all your fish in a separate tank. I have some very tough fish and a fully trafficked tank with live plants and a good filter and aerator. Even adding half the dose to my aquarium caused havoc. This left most of my fish either panting or lethargic. But it killed the green and hair algae in just 2 days. As for the blackbeard algae, they only killed what was on my plants, not the decor. To help my fish recover from each dose, I had to dilute hydrogenโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Not the best

But the fish is good. for aquarium water treatment

My fish survived the first dose but they obviously don't like something about it. Right after I added it, swimming almost like mad, they disappeared for the whole day. I only used about 2/3 or 3/4 the recommended amount, mixed that amount with 1 gallon of water and added to my 400 gallon outdoor pond. There was no way to greatly reduce the oxygen in the few seconds it took the fish to react, so it must have been the smell, or maybe it bothered the fish's eyes, but they didn't enjoy it 100% . Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • great design
Cons
  • thin

Follow the instructions and everything will be fine!

I was very reluctant to use this product due to reports of fish kills. I have had aquariums for 10 years and have never had an algal bloom. I bought a fake plant from Amazon and while I don't think it had anything to do with it, almost immediately after I put it in my aquarium everything turned green. I removed all my plants and thought that would help. nope Did about an 80% water change. Nothing helped. Bought and was very nervous about using it. A bunch of people wrote just to follow the Tโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Fits

Listen to the reviews it really kills fish.

I've run out of the F25ml Aquarium Clarifier which is safer and makes the water crystal clear. I got Algaefix at the same time because I never had algae until I changed the lighting to a bright LED. I read an article on how to get rid of algae. I used to use the F25ml aquarium clarifier because it makes cloudy water crystal clear. To my surprise, he removed the green algae. But when I leaked and saw Algae in the aquarium again, I followed the Algaefix API instructions. When I poured water withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great price

  • Big and bulky
