## Description

Natural Aquarium Cleaner Use Waste-Away Sludge Busting Bacteria to Remove Hidden Wastes Instructions and Guidelines Waste-Away is sludge busting bacteria! Dissolves sludge and dirt Unclogs gravel/coral beds Removes hidden wastes Contains no phosphates 100% natural Waste-Away is a unique combination of bacteria that attack and dissolve organic wastes in the aquarium quickly. Even with good maintenance and monthly water changes, sludge and wastes remain in the aquarium in hard to reach and hard to see places, and are dissolved in the water. Waste-Away, a 100% natural beneficial-bacteria based product, works to quickly find, break down and remove these wastes. Waste-Away works to remove aquarium gunk, unclog gravel or coral beds, and keep filter pads freely flowing longer. This results in better water flow, more oxygen and a healthier aquarium environment. Waste-Away differs from other sludge busting bacteria products as it comprises several species of bacteria that were isolated from aquarium or pond environments so they can quickly and efficiently clean your aquatic system.* Use it to help get rid of cyanobacteria, aquarium slime and to keep turtle tanks clean!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by C***K on 30 August 2011*

I have been using Waste-Away now for just about a month in a moderate to heavily planted aquarium. So far it does seem to reduce organic waste in the aquarium in general, and the development of bacterial films inside filter pipes, and debris build up inside the filter itself. Before adding this supplement I had to clean my glass filter inlet and outlet pipes and rinse the filter material once a week. Now, after four weeks, the bacterial growth resembles a week's growth. Filter flow also remains noticeably higher, suggesting that debris congestion inside the filter material is reduced. One word of warning though. During the initial dosages the establishment of the bacteria consumes a lot of dissolved oxygen from the water at night. This leaves fish gasping at the surface. When your lights go off and plants stop photosynthesizing make sure to add a bubbler (small airpump and an airstone) for night time surface agitation and water oxygenation.
