anyone every try the tetra aqua blakc water extract im just wondering what affects does it have positive or negitive from people that have actually used it i know it has b vitamins b2 b6 b12 and peat extract
i haven't actually used it, but from what i've read it'll lower pH and stain the water yellowish. (thus replicating the natural environment of some amazonian fish)

I haven't used it. I've heard it uses a phosphate buffer to lower pH. Even though its advertised as "natural", use it as carefully as you would a chemical buffer.
The fish like it, but if your alkalinity is high, it actually wears off in several days, leaving you wondering if you ever even used the stuff.
I say go ahead and use it if you have fish from tannic waters, but don't go crazy with it.
