### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked great!
*by R***L on August 31, 2021*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ive only used it once so far but the fish tank water is clear and looks good

I used this for my 5 gallon fish tank

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Waste-away shows promise
*by C***K on August 30, 2011*

I have been using Waste-Away now for just about a month in a moderate to heavily planted aquarium. So far it does seem to reduce organic waste in the aquarium in general, and the development of bacterial films inside filter pipes, and debris build up inside the filter itself. Before adding this supplement I had to clean my glass filter inlet and outlet pipes and rinse the filter material once a week. Now, after four weeks, the bacterial growth resembles a week's growth. Filter flow also remains noticeably higher, suggesting that debris congestion inside the filter material is reduced. One word of warning though. During the initial dosages the establishment of the bacteria consumes a lot of dissolved oxygen from the water at night. This leaves fish gasping at the surface. When your lights go off and plants stop photosynthesizing make sure to add a bubbler (small airpump and an airstone) for night time surface agitation and water oxygenation.
