I agree to an extent, I don't believe it will cure crap but it has made a difference in my freshwater tank. The colors of my fish has improved drastically since feeding garlic on a daily basis. and getting fish to eat healthy by using something as garlic to entice them to eat more does have it's benefits. As for everything else this dude said, listen closely, he's knows what he's saying. Hypo does have to be lower in order to be effective. one week at 1.015 is just a wasted week, once you get ammonia down and SG adjusted, start that imaginary QT counter over.
