Reef Waste-Away Sludge Busting Bacteria – For Reef, Nano, Seahorse Aquaria, Fish Tanks, Aquariums – Unclogs, Cleans Gravel Beds, Removes Hidden Wastes – 100% Natural – 8 Oz. (472)

I started using this when the algae situation in my reef tank got bad, it definitely helped and I've been adding it to my tank every time I do a water change since then and have seen great results.

I had a severe outbreak of bacterial slime. It not only collected on every surface (rock, glass, sand, etc) of the tank, but the water was so cloudy I literally couldn't find my fish inside it. I'm not usually a person that likes to use "bottled fixes" but Dr. Tims came highly recommended by seasoned Reef keepers and marine tank hobbyists. After a week of using Waste-Away I noticed a significant improvement. Be carefuly to follow the directions, do not overdose the tank, and use the half dose for the first use so as not to shock your system. Using this coupled with syphoning out the larger portions of slime, bacteria, or whatever is plagueing your tank, and you should be on the road to a clear aquarium in no time! I would not hesitate to purchase this product again in the future.

Hi , this yet another successful product from Dr Tim to find the correct bacterial balance and keep your aquarium water crystal clear without the daily algea scraping. Highly recommend. Please stay safe and healthy

I followed the directions to the T with this product and less than 72 hours later half of my tank has died. I saw a very high increase in ammonia levels from near 0 to over 1.0, my pH tanked from a perfect 8.2 to levels not even detectable. Of the 5 fish I had only 2 are left and they may not make it through the night. I WOULD NOT recommend this product to anyone for any reason. If you have nitrate and ammonia problems, increase your water changes and reduce feedings to get them under control instead.

I had been fighting dinos for a while, trying uv and manual removal without success. Purchased Dr. Tim's, followed the instructions and dinos gone in 2 weeks.

It helps clean up sludge and can help your skimmer pull excess nutrients and build-up out of a system. However, it can and will stress out sps or other sensitive corals if you're not careful, even at the "half-strength" dose. *Can and will help outcompete Cyano.* That's just the nature of using a potent bacterial additive like this in a closed system, you run the risk of upsetting or hurting livestock. If you made it weak enough to have no risk whatsoever of irritating or harming nutrient-sensitive or bacterial cultivating animals then it wouldn't be potent enough to actually have a meaningful impact. Don't Blindly Dose. Keep a Close eye out for stress when you are dosing, stop if your corals react negatively.
