so it has enzymes in it??? or beneficial bacteria???---------------------------I could be wrong but I don't think it adds oxygen to your water, It doesn't seem to have the properties of an oxidizer either. I just thought since LB had the inside info on the product he could elaborate. My guess would be its ingredients are a concentrated humid base with rock phosphates and a common root hormone.(just a guess-lol). Very effective stuff though.
HEY!!!! i know exactly who this is...
sup buddy? long time no see!!!! your broken keyboard dash mark gave it away buddy
no it has neither. it doesnt add oxygen to the water, but so what? h2o2 sucks and it can only add so much oxygen to the water. DO (dissolved oxygen) is relative to water temps. the warmer your water temps, the easier saturated water becomes...... so with about 75-80 degrees water...you only getting about 5-7 mg/L (ppm) of DO
i dont rely on air pumps nor h2o2 for my DO. air pumps can inject airborne pathogens and spores into your reservoir causing wild EC and pH fluctuation.
and h2o2 doesnt matter either... i see people who have 80F res temps and using h2o2, swearing up and down its their chemical airstone..... well what folks dont realize is that DO level is relative to temperature.
water has pretty much reached its saturation point @ 50F around 14ppms of DO.
but yea Dr. my guess is as good as yours with the humid base. I've been trying to squeeze the detailed info out of the Technicians...but they are playing that one (ingredients) close to the chest. I guess that is their real money maker!!!
for a minute i thought it was magic sauce...LOL
they are keeping their secrets tight, but they did say that their were several ingredients in their products that werent listed on the label... most products that work really good have plant regulator hormones in them that arent listed on the labels, many companies do this, but im not 100% positive H&G does, but im pretty damn sure.
