ECO Aqualizer

[Ironman]

hey guys, I talked to a guy locally last year who swore by this thing. he was buying another one for a second tank he was setting up. thou I will say it kinda seemed to me that this might be more of a lazy reefers dream. All this talk of lessening water changes and lowering ammonia. Im not real sure if its more for people who have really nasty water quality to begin with. I guess what Im saying is if you keep a clean system you may not get the results other people get. I to thought about getting one but wasnt quite as enchanted with the idea to fallow through. What are the current prices on these units now? Maybe Ill try one just to say Im a idiot.

I think anywhere from 44 upwards of 220.

When talking with them they were strongly against getting one oversized for a saltwater tank and said you could even go lower if you were a cautious person.

If you decide to order one look at the first post on this thread by john. It has a 20% off coupon code.

Thanks for the link. after reading the thread, i doubt anything has been proven except the individual that uses um swears by um. naturally everyone else is opinionated on the subject but until tried, i cant sign on to their camp. The other test going on is not complete or conclusive and i doubt the eco caused a drop in water quality, but, the consensus is still out until more information is received. I will still try one to see what gives and post the finding. all of you will have to make up your minds on this item. I do not represent it as real or otherwise, just sharing what i have found out so far. so I will try it out later this year and let you know what gives. so far we have one that uses um and swears by um and one partially run test with a water quality drop and not real evidence as to the decline making this test thus far useless. so we will see. as for the rethoric in the link, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I do agree with the majority in the link that this item should not be used as a miracle tool, to resolve failure to maintain a quality system, but, to possibly enhance the thriving system. For any test of this unit the water flow through the unit needs to be correct for the system to benefit from it if a benefit is to be had. so lets see what developes.
