There's a certain sub-set of us that think of Marc Weiss products in derisive terms. Much of the "product literature" is dense, nonsense verbiage. That alone is a bit of deal-killer.

Then add in the moniker of "all natural" applied to the entire product line, and the end result is synonymous with "snake oil".

Didn't realize it was still around

. Used it periodically about 15 years ago, observed no appreciable change, so discontinued using it.

it definitely stimulates feeding or something; my cleaner shrimp goes nuts as soon as it touches the water surface.
