How does the product affect plants and aquariums? Will I have to seal my aquarium and move my plants out?

I will refer you to the manufacturer, Bio Cide Labs http://www.biocidelabs.com/ I do not know how this product would affect aquariums or plants, and this is not my concern since there are no aquariums or plants in the areas I plan to treat. Perhaps this information will help. But for sure, go to biocidelabs.com for more information.

if you have a filter like a canister filter that is where the good bacteria lives it only gets rid of algae and suspended water based bacteria if that makes any sense it will not harm your fish or plants it will take out medicine so unplug it if you are going to ever have to use medicine I got mine for a algae problem and it cleared it up in about 5 days hope this helped

From what I've read and what I've experienced,the fertilization/nutritional aspect of the substrates depletes with time as your plants use it. How long it takes depends on how dense your aquarium is planted. My lightly planted tank last about 6 months. Just be careful with it because can change your water parameters if you get a bad batch. If you see any white specs or rocks, Do Not Use it. See my review for more info.

Lay it on a table and break it with something like a screwdriver or something. Put about 1/6 of it in. It works by raising the ph, which kills the fungus on the betta. You can do partial water changes every day. Maybe halfish. I didn't fully empty it. But keep putting a shard of it every day, and within a few days it'll look better. Continue to use a little bit a few days after you think it is fully healed just to be sure. Also, make sure the betta has good water conditions and is warm. Cold water is bad for bettas, but in a 1.2 gallon you probably won't need a heater. If you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to email me at caindanielle @ rocketmail . com. (sorry for spaces, I don't know if they censor emails)

No...it should be good. It is sturdy and sticks to the glass with suction cups. You can place it on the bottom or side of the aquarium. If you have plants or decorations, you can hide it behind them.

Hi Patrick, I put a pump and return lines on my 4 bucket system. This way the water gets flushed back into the main bucket and keeps plants very happy. I used the system without the pump and had good results as long as you changed the solution every week. Now with the pump I can go 10-12 days before changing it. THe plants grow really good either way.MUDFLAT

I have knock out roses in the area where my torepdo grass had taken over. I do not see any adverse effect to any of my roses or other plants/bushes/trees/vines. Go online and look up the directions and information for further help with fusilade II. I did not have any choice. Torpedo had to go! I have bought this more than once, and at the price, that should tell you that it is effective and that I like this product. The last spaying seems to have eradicated the torpedo. I am selling my home and the Fusilade II will stay with the house, just in case.

You don't need to move the sick Koi. We used it with other Koi and goldfish and it didn't hurt any of them or the pond plants which I had worried about. Don't be surprised if it foams up. Our pond looked like a bubble bath as we have two small waterfalls.

The decor tray in the bottom? It's attached with some suction cups so you can take it out if you want to pretty easily, but it also holds pretty well if you want it to stay in there. I never used it in the tank. There's also some grooves and holes in the bottom of the tray so aquatic plants can take root better.

The package says it's not recommended for aquariums. It's fairly toxic stuff and any residue would probably kill fish. I used it to patch a crack in my driveway. It did a good job at that.

Yea I agree with that previous answer, I was using it for my viquarium maintenance and it did take off the weaker hard water deposits but not the caked on stuff that you really wanna get out you know?

Yes you do have to worry about plants. Even though the 30 second cleaner works great on decks and siding it is mostly bleach!! It will kill your plants grass or shrubs. You also must be careful that you don't get it on your shoes and walk on your carpets. In addition Gene given what it is made of and the very high cost to ship a gallon of it to you, you may be better off making your own as it is simple and available online. I mix one gallon of water with 8 cups of bleach and 1 1/2 cups of liquid TSP (a liquid degreaser) purchased at LOWES or Home Depot will cost you a fraction of the cost of a gallon of 30 second cleaner not to mention the heavy freight.

I see no problem at all with my tank. As Im using all seachem ferts on my tank. Florish excel is basically liquid co2. If you don't have co2 and you have plants that requires excel. Then you must get it. As for trace elements. I use em combined with flourish and excel and other ferts. Just follow the dosing instructions

I use live plants in all my tanks. Live plants give out oxygen, remove CO2, and depending on the fish they may also snack off of them. I have never had an issue with my live plants making my tanks feel dirty and since I have switched from silk to live I'd had a much higher survival rate with my fish. Just make sure you get hardy plants that can survive with regular indoor lighting or you'll have issues with them living in this tank without making modifications.

The product says it's safe for plants and fish. I use it in my pond which has both plants and fish and I treat my pond twice a year just to be on the safe side. I haven't lost any plants or fish due to the use of this product. Hope this answers your question.

I own numerous reptiles, and I've worked in a pet store for seven years. Screen covers such as this one do absolutely nothing to prevent water loss due to evaporation. The stronger a heat source on the cage and the lower the ambient humidity of the room where the cage is, the faster this evaporation will occur. This can be mitigated by covering a portion of the lid (a safe distance from heat lamps or emmiters) with plexiglass from your local hardware store, or with the addition of an automatic misting system. If you are using it as a fish tank cover you should just top off more frequently. With fish tanks the faster evaporation rate is often actually good for your tank; the gas exchange that accompanies the evaporation us your tank "breathing".
