Eco-Aqualizer - Page 2

I have had one on my 58 gal for 5 months now. I had to do 5% water changes every week before i installed it. Now I do a 5% once every 6 weeks. My skimmer started producing more skimmate after installing it. There are good and bad reviews for every product around. Since every aquarium has it's own personality it may not be as effective on one aquarium vs another.

Interesting enough I stumbled upon some of these same sites I was just wondering if any one has used these on their tanks. I know there is a set up like this that is used on the main water line in your home to filter the tap water. I don't plan on purchasing one but they sure do market it well and make you believe it would work. However, if it was that good you would hear of it more often I have been doing this for years with freshwater and now with saltwater and this is the first time I ever heard of it.

Fewer water changes equal more skim.

My water has never been clearer and although I cut my water changes by about 50% (about 2 years ago) all my water parameters are perfect- just coincedence? All I can say is mine is staying on my tank- and EVEVEN IF IT DID NOTHING ELSE I wouldn't want to miss the lively discussion it produces- LOL!

The skimmer went crazy 4 hours after installation.

Here's access to their old site for those that want to research the product. Inland Reef Eco-Aqualizer

I cannot discuss this product personally as Carl Denzer and Sam Gamble gave me a free one to test when it first came out.

They gave me a discount (not free), so I sent mine to Matt @ Inland to take apart

The pics came out good, huh

inwall75 · 11-28-2006, 01:11 PM

Yeah, the pics came out good IMO.

Both were definately difficult to speak with. Carl was like a used-car salesman and you had to work hard to get a question or comment in and Sam is deaf.

Again, most people are accustomed to me speaking my mind even if I make them angry. I don't post on these boards to make friends at the expense of our livestock. Heck, I'm sure I've made people mad on 3reef if I've discussed some articles and studies. (Even though I was a business major, I ran the Bio-Lab in college to pay for tuition so even though I'm not a biologist, I'm not stupid regarding these issues).

In this case, I agreed to test a product privately. I have strong feelings about this product but I won't share them because of a gentlemen's agreement. If anyone needs any positive or negative feedback to determine whether or not you should buy this item, I'm more than happy to give links. I just won't comment myself.
