Does the stuff work? Is it worth it? I'm assuming it also removes chlorine, since it is water conditioner  Anyone? Thanks  |

It works really well at turning the water brown, but I didn't notice any change with the plants or fish. You do have to use A LOT of it at the recommended dosing, so it goes pretty fast.

Their BlackWater Tonic is purely a peat extract though, and doesn't contain a dechlorinator. Go here and scroll down to "Blackwater Extract". Tells you all about it.  |
