I have used it after getting a couple of bottle free with Tetra water
conditioner. Adding to the water does in fact lower the nitrate levels,
takes about a day. I have used it when I have been too busy to have enough
time to do a water change and nitrate levels have been high, ie after coming
back from holiday, add this and quickly change filter floss.
Does appear to encourage some algea growth, water seems to take on a slight
brown tinge, probably due to organics and filter floss seems to block much
quicker. I assume its organics in the water, not being removed by water
changes causing this issue.
