I know this topic came up a month or 2 ago, but no one had bought it yet. Did anybody? Well i just put my order in today for it. I just hope it isnt a waste of my $40. I will give a review here once i get it which i have no idea when that will be. Probably the standard 6-8 weeks, maybee even longer for foriegn orders.
Sounds appealling though- Grow any aquatic plant with no special lighting or CO2, just standard lighting and his aquatic plant growth stimulant(the same used by nature) which you make.
WISH ME LUCK

I wish you luck, however it does sound too good to be true and you know what they say about that.

I don't know how you can grow plants without sufficient lighting, you know the photosynthesis thing, but I guess anything is possible, or is it

I am envisioning that this book will be something like "how to make a nature tank", probably based on Diane Walstead (sp) and/or Rhonda Wilson (known from the Krib and TFH).

But maybe we will be surprisd

Nature uses Co2, light and nutrients. Don't think Mama Nature had a secret ingredient she was holding out on

Sounds like pseudo science.

Who knows maybe it can also cure baldness

That's what I assumed it was, some kind of miracle solution you could just add to the tank.

I guess the definition of assume proves itself true again.

I've now seen the full ad and to be honest sounds like a load of bull.

As soon as I saw a promise of flowering underwater plants alarm bells went off.

Almost all aquatic plants are simply incapable of flowering underwater. They only flower when emmersed.

Sounds like hocus pocus.

We took this one apart in another forum(PT).
Well, you can take out an ad and say pretty much anything.

The claims made are not supported, nor really anything that does not occur anyway to some degree............

Hydrilla is a noxious weed but that does not stop some clowns from putting in pills and making claims that is increase sex drive, reverse aging and help lose weight.

BTW, there has not been one study in any medical journal to date on Hydrilla and human health.

No added CO2 is neede dto grow plants, but I can easily kill this products claim, try growing Tonia in a low light tank without CO2 in hard water, I do not care what is in this, it will not grow any plant.

That's just outright foolishness.

Sorry you wasted the 40$

Regards,
Tom Barr

It seems like this post really took off while i was on vacation this past week.
Bensaf- that would be really nice if it could cure baldness.
