BLACK POWDER - Is this stuff all its cracked up to be?

[nickster]

I would like some feedback from those that have tried using Black Powder.
It makes some magnificent claims on what this stuff will do to your tank if you use it.
I however, have not really seen any outstanding results from using this powder for the past 6 months/ 2Xs /week.

With what this powder costs I think you cn get theWhite Powder cheaper from the cartel in Columbia. :roll:

Do a search on Marc Weiss and you will get the answers you seek.

Didn't do a damn thing!

Most of it is still in the fridge if you would like to buy it from me I'll sell it to you cheap. :wink:

If you really want to add excess iron and other nutrients to your tank, go to a garden center and buy some "blood meal".

You may notice a, how shall I put it, "similarity", to Black Powder. :roll:

I bought one of those products once. (hanging head in shame) I'm sure it had nothing to do with it, but almost as soon as I started using it I had this coincidental massive algae bloom...

Moral of the story: If you don't know what the ingredients are, don't put it in. There is no magic in reefing, only chemistry and diligence.

i did a search on black powder and the results of some aquarists are similiar to my own, lots of little brown feather dusters. i wonder if he seeds them things somehow. is that even possible? i too have a can in the freezer that never gets used, it sits right next to my spectra vital the two will probably freeze together
