Default Sludge Away

Recently I've heard some local reports of people's lilies dying or looking
crispy on the ends. Even fish dying. The above product was the common
factor. The one's with the fish dying was figured to be over use of the
product and not enough aeration going on (big fish died while others
survived.... under the water fall). Flow thru water change was suggested,
as people were going OOT the next day. I haven't heard back on that one.

Today at the koi club meeting a couple others said they had used the
product as directed and had lily pads turn black or crisp up on the edges.
Anyone here have similar problems? I'm thinking there is more in this stuff
than bacteria an enzymes? I was about to purchase some as I thought it was
similar to BZT, but I guess that's not the case, I've never had a problem
with that. ~ jan
