How long have you used the product?
Used product for 7 days to treat external infection on two fish. Both died - one after three days of treatment, the other after a week.

Build quality and value for your money.
None. Better to just set those dollar bills on fire or wipe your behind with them rather than waste it on this stuff.

Other comments
It did smell nice, but even that's not a plus because the essential oil which provides the smell and is the "active" ingredient (more like inactive), will leave a greasy residue in your filter media -- all of it -- sponge, filter rings, and carbon. Just gross.

Don't waste your money on this stuff.

I'm sorry to see you've had a bad experience with this product. I will have to say though that I have had nothing but luck with mine. I use it frequently when any bacterial infections or ripped fins/scales comes along.

This product has saved many of my angels lives.

I'm sorry you see this product this way. I have used it for just about everything and have had great success.
