Crystal-clear aquarium turns into cloudy milk bubbles?

I literally followed the installation instructions. Within 5 minutes my 30 gallon tank was severely cloudy and milky. I could hardly see my fish? I'll remove the package immediately. The pack had a picture of the medium and they looked like small balls/granules. When I opened the package, the filter pack looked like it was filled with powder and not beads/granules? I do not know what's up. I have contacted API/MARS but have not received a response yet?

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Reliability

Reduces nitrate levels

Amazing product! I have a 2500 gallon carp pond with a nitrate problem, the nitrate level in my pond was 160ppm. I tried several things and none of them worked. I haven't changed a ton of water in 3 months and it still hasn't lowered my nitrates. So I set about fixing the problem and within 24 hours my nitrate levels went from 160ppm to 40ppm. I opted for a 10% water change and measured my nitrate levels 3 hours later; Within 27 hours of using Nitra-Zob in my pond the nitrate levels went from…

Product size fits only the largest filters

I purchased this product to help lower nitrate levels in my 10 gallon freshwater aquarium. The product does this, but it comes in such a bulky sealed bag that it literally took up all the space in my filter! To use it I had to remove the filter cartridge. I later figured out how to adjust the Bio-Bag filter cartridge to hold fewer pellets. That's enough for my small 10 liter aquarium. The manufacturer should produce this product in different bag sizes to better meet the needs of different tank…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Does what it's supposed to do

I had a nitrate problem in my tank and frequent water changes while helping a lot didn't get me where I wanted to. I added a pack of NitraZorb to my Penguin Bio-Wheel filter and within a few days the nitrate levels in the aquarium were within acceptable limits. I continued to use the sachets and the problem did not recur (even when I went back to the weekly water changes). I have found that the bags do not last as long as the packaging says. I had to change them monthly and recharge them weekly

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • I'll add later

Effective for nitrate reduction

I bought these for a 29 gallon freshwater aquarium that despite frequent water changes still had too high nitrate levels for my liking. The tank only has a standard 50 gallon Aqueon HOB filter, making it difficult to install additional filter media. However, I basically cut a small hole in the top of this bag (penetrating both sides) and then attached it to whatever grip area I could find in the filter. It then just hangs right where the filtered water returns to the tank. Is that the nicest…

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Something different

Worst product ever!

This product was recommended to me by my aquarist who later admitted he had never used it. I rarely write reviews and this is probably my second product review in my entire life. Like most aquarists, I had a nitrate problem and was keen to use this product. First, my entire 40 gallon aquarium turned into a white mist. My poor neon tetras couldn't take it and started dying every day. One day 3, another day 5, another day 6. It went like this for about 7 days. Also, I tested the water with my API

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • not bad
