TLC for Saltwater Aquariums

[Leroy]

For the most of us we do add TLC for our saltwater aquariums but the TLC I'm looking for opinions on the product is the dosing type added to your tank on a monthly basis, TLC for Saltwater Aquariums. Has anyone had any experience with this additive or familiar with it, tho not a chemical but a bacteria to help cycle new tanks, when adding new species, and for tank maintenance. Eliminates toxic ammonia and nitrite, helps minimize sludge build-up.

Just my opinion, when I hear, "help cycles new tanks" or "Eliminates toxic ammonia and nitrite, helps minimize sludge build-up" I think snakeoil. Anything that helps to speed up whatever and eliminate this or that, it's always to good to be true. Looking at the MSDS, primary activate ingredients claims to be Bacillus and Nitrobacter, "adapted to saline conditions."

Looking at the manufacter claims, the website reminds me of "Ecoaqualizer". Maybe they are truthful, but I'm pretty skeptical of thy're claims.

Yeah I had the word snakeoil crossed my mind as well. Haven't researched Bacillus and Nitrobacter yet but will get myself familiar with them when I Google the words to get a better idea as to what they are unless someone chimes in on the post to fill in more information.

Bacillus and Nitrobacter are both legit a genus for bacteria, but it just really strikes me weird like a "miracle" Marc Weiss product.
