Found this on sale at E-bay, will this save all our aquariums, or ?!?
I don't know who sells it, but it's basically just a small tube that you pass the water through.

Sounds bunk.

Most things in life that sound to good to be true usually are.

Doesn't this sound like the Eco-Aqualizer, or Aqua-ecolizer, or whatever that silly magnet device was? Supposedly, with only magnets, it fixed everything from world starvation, to raising the Titanic. And all for $30...

Anyone tested it?

Interesting concept. I'd be interested in hearing some users results.

They were, how to say this politely, unimpressed....

I am kind of a gadget geek; so I was curious at first, but after reading their descriptions, it kinda cured a little bit too much, without any filtration, work, electricity, etc. It's just a little too far fetched for my tastes. These guys supposedly presented at IMAC 2003, or MASNA 2003 or something in 2003, and then strangely fell off the face of the earth...

Just my $.02; spend your $30 or so dollars on another bucket of Instant Ocean, the water change will getcha farther than some snakeoil....
