nothing bad although people have reported that it has made their skimmers go nuts for a short period of time.

+1.

Though, lately, the HD around me has replaced Aquamend with another brand (forgot the name). Works the same. Slightly more "sticky", IMO, which is good, but both parts are white, so tough to tell when it's fully mixed/kneaded.
