    @Hendre, if you read on the bottle it says "The Ultimate Water Conditioner and Bio-Filter Booster". Mayhaps some Googling would help?

    I have a friend that uses it. Not sure how good it is. It it a dechlorinator and adds beneficial bacteria as well. If I'm not mistaken it's also a buffer

    Yes if i felt the need or if ever i feel i need extra help in disolving/getting rid of sludge

    At the moment ny tanks are not really overstocked and have over the top filtration so i havent used it yet..
    I opened both my C2400 canisters this weekend and its about 5 months since i opened them and they were fairly clean.
    The sump is quite big and looks like its doing the main job

    But... yes, i would if i felt i needed to

    I would also love to use it , but I am keeping frontosa , and with frontosa you add salts , so this is a no-go zone for me unfortunately

    It looks like it will do the same job, I was also checking out some products that might be able tovdo the job and prices so I could budget for it since I can only use a certain amount of money on my fish keeping hobby.
