what do you guys think of this??

interesting?

i dont know if you should reduce water changes though

Sounds like a scam to me. The poor spelling and grammar doesn't help their sales pitch either. Their main site is better written but doesn't go into detail of how it can elminate the ammonia, nitrites and nitrates in the water. The "ionizing" thing sounds hokey too. While there might be some real science in there, I don't think it's claim is accurate.

I wouldnt trust it, if it were that good why arent they available in all the major fish stores?

Their claim that it will, "improve the water quality for all aquatic enviroments," is too wide open to interpretation for me.

Remember too, that when we do water changes, it is to remove harmful bacteria as well as chemicals from the tank. IMHO it is just too risky to cut back on doing good water changes and bottom cleanings, no matter what any products claim to do.

Let's see, the sustitle of this thread is "mmmm, I don't know" Methinks I do know, this is laughable. Their real webpage is full of scientific buzzwords that are only vaguely put into real sentences.

For example, "As reactivity decreases, so does the rate of diffusion of toxins and nutrients through water." Ummm, if you have a filter return, or power head, or bubble wall, or even an undergravel filter diffusion is almost negligible. Advection (via the currents) is most likely dominant. Even the heat off the heaters will make convection currents that will most likely be greater in magnitude than the diffusion. Oh, and the flows are almost always turbulent, so the intrinsic diffusion constant is almost always overshadowed by the turbulent diffusion anyway.

And "The Earth's Magnetic Field and the Suns Radiating Wavelengths are natural forces which contribute to the missing links in achieving aquarium perfection." We keep the sun off our tanks for any period of time (algae!) and most of the dangerous radiation we are protected from by the ozone layer. And anything that supposedly drawn power from the earth's magnetic field would not fit in our aquarium. The length scale makes this almost impossible. I mean, look at the ratio of the length of this device or the length of your aquarium to the length of the earth's radius or diameter. And then would you have to align your tank N to S?

This pseudoscience is like a lot of things, just someone trying to make some quick money by telling you what you want to hear.
