Moments before taking that leap of faith into the pond ~ janj at

I never believe any company that hides behind the excuse of
"proprietary formula." Any potential competitor would just send a
sample to a lab and soon know not only which micronutrients are in
there, and in what quantity. A few bucks more, and they'd even know
what bacteria are in the bottle.

Good research. I too was skeptical of Koizyme, but I called rather
than used e-mail, when it first came out. My main point of the call
was what was different about it in regards to any other bacteria for
filter start up?

What I heard was believable and figured it was worth a try. Especially
since I have rock around the edges and my koi are known to get nicks
every now and then.... and when I was over stocked I ended up loosing
a few to ulcers.

Since then I've been using the koizyme for 3 years and so far so
good. I do currently have one fish that went into winter with a small
mark on its nose. So far the mark hasn't gotten worst an I'm hoping
with warmer temps, and Koizyme it will not need further treatment. ~

*Note: There are TWO "Koi-Lo's" on this NG*

I haven't had one fish come up with ulcers since using Koi-Zyme. Every
spring they get a bit beat up spawning through the plants which are in
plastic pots and any rocks along the edges they come in contact with. They
lose scales etc. but never get ulcers. The wounds heal rapidly. It's worth
every penny I pay for it. It's $15 here and I add it until it's all used
up. The bottles have dates on them.
