Sounds like a bunch of BS to me. It appears that they are using a bunch of "scientific" terminology to try to impress potential buys. My favorite statement was:

" Water simply flows through the ECO-AqualizerTM unit, where the internal reaction chamber ionizes the passing water molecules." Interesting, I thought water molecules were already ionized (H+ and OH-).

Also - there's a lot of chemistry terminology that is incorrectly used. "Reactivity is the molecular interactions between water molecules." Some of the physics doesn't make sense to me either. Sounds like they must have developed a cold fusion technology to power this time.

The claim seems to be too good to be true. But I could be wrong.

load of garbage, ridiculous statement, cant see how it will work, it may have some benefits, but water changes to replenish element levels are going to be needed in reefing, those statements just seem like a load of crap to me

They DON'T work. It's a section of PVC with some magnets taped to it with electical tape. TOTAL SCAM. DO NOT BUY INTO IT.

We were doing so well and now this is popping up again a couple times a week

Yes, this item is a scam and how they are still selling these things, I have no idea. Someone really should have filed a claim with the BBB or law suit against them by now.

Seriously.

I wonder what the company's annual revenue from eco-aqualizer sales is.

Anyone want to venture a guess?

Probably quite a profit. I think most of the people who buy it are too embarassed to return it for a full refund.

im busted, i bought one cause my LFS was running one and i was modeling my tank after his display tank, so coincidense he sells them but i will say from day 1 i never had a algea bloom of any sort ever but i run a uv too. i even started with tap/well water (not knowing) and had phosfates for almost a year. could be luck or the uv or maybe that eco thing, who knows.

I have submersible pumps in my system. So I must have the magnet thing covered.
