So far the product has obvious results much different than as you put it "just adding water".

As I said, it is adding sugar water.

All his products are complete and utter BS, and rely on lies, misleading studies, and consumer stupidity.

Because otherwise he would be able to tell you what is in those bottles. :p

There are no secret magical chemicals that do wonders for the reef.

Slip, you could be absolutely right, yet at this point you're proposing an assumption built on partially reasonable thinking.

He could just as well not openly reveal the components, in order to prevent competition stealing his idea, or even understanding it and building similar products. That's just as reasonable.

In a few weeks and then months I'll let you know if there are any more noticable results.
 
rayray

I don't think Dr Ron tested either of Marc Weiss's products. Coral Vital is a Kent Marine product.

Combo Vital, Spectra Vital, and Black Powder are what I'm talking about. Be well.

Thats what patents are for. He wont get a patent because he would have to reveal whats in the bottle. ;)

Suffice to say, if what he has is nothing new, inventive, or unique, he cant patent it.
 
well

you might be absolutely right. yet patents aren't full proof. A patent only safeguards your exact recipe. If another company changes it up just slightly, they can release a product that is virtually the same, market it the same.

Hence, patents aren't fullproof.

It's all assumptions as of now.
 
Lesson learned, next time I will have to check the names properly.
I still agree with slip.
Who wrote the "more info" posting above?
Some of the terminology used sounds guaranteed to befudle the unwary. Also, I was unable to find said words in any of the chemical and the biological glossaries a Google search provided. The writer left me with the impression he/she was fronting for the products.
Ask Dr Ron what he thinks and ask Randy Homes-Farley, both knowlegeable people.
Find out how many commercial propagation companies are using these products. (obviously ones that don't have commercial attachments to Marc Weis)
I was unable to find any of the captive fish raising industry that uses these products that are supposed to be benificial in the larval stages.
It sure reminds me of the item in my business that keeps cropping up and emptying my customers wallets. The gas saver, or mileage booster. Inventive word technology makes it sound like you are buying the miracle of the century.
If these things worked, the car companies would have been using them many years ago in order to meet the requirements of the EPA. Instead, they spend billions each year to give us better gas mileage that is legislated on them.
