I thought that was one of the big claims to fame. Here, for example:

"After testing for another 6 months, he had found the perfect combination of light energies, magnetic flux, and transmitting medium. He began making prototypes to experiment with and was provided a test market consisting of 60 consumer tanks through a friend's maintenance company. Their results, including the results from his own tanks were very positive. Testing found there was a reduced need for water changes, nitrate and ammonia levels were lower, protein skimming was enhanced, pH and ORP was improved, along with DO rates and most importantly there were lower mortality rates. A new and totally different aquarium product was about to be born and would be called the 'ECO-Aqualizer.'

and
"With a combined effects of magnetic fields and far infrared, hydrogen bonding is significantly reduced, resulting in an increased REACTIVITY of water. This creates a greater interaction of molecules and therefore a greater tendency for water to undergo essential chemical reactions. These natural energy reactions all help restore balance to water that was thrown into the realm of unbalance due to the mismatch of filter capability and saturate addition. Noticeably users will see filters collect more waste, PH fluctuations reduce, ORP and DO levels increase, and nitrate and ammonia levels decrease. Your tank water will regain natural equilibrium. Anyone can claim these results, but the best judges of the resulting healthy balanced ecosystem are fish and coral and their sustained health and increased activity will reflect this."

."

I had not read that.

Well the shopkeeper which tetsed it saw a different result.


Looking at the link you gave:

A little over a year later, after testing different transmitting materials, he found an acrylic material used by the medical industry that allowed for the maximum transmittance of gamma and photon radiation

GAMMA radiation?

If this is true ( ) then a lot of authorities might want to take some action.

In Holland that would be illegal.

Perhaps people should be made aware about it.

So lets inform them

Well, don't get too excited. There's nothing wrong with transmitting it, you just don't want to emit it!

I understand that but I was exited about:

he found an acrylic material used by the medical industry that allowed for the maximum transmittance of gamma

Now why would you search a year for that?

After all it is something different than:

he found an acrylic material used by the medical industry that allowed for the maximum transmittance of photon radiation.



Since I have not tested for emmittance of gamma radiation from that device and'we should not say any thing bad, it is in their interest to accept what is being said.

Curiously, I got rid of my collection of rocks that I had gathered over the years for that very reason. One day I brought them to the lab and ran a geiger counter over them. Sure enough, they were radioactive. Not especially hot, but above background, and hot with radiation that went through a piece of paper, maybe gamma radiation.



Now why would you search a year for that?


Good point. Of course, maybe he didn't have anything else worthwhile to do.

Did you buy some Polonium rocks from the Mrs Curie collection?

BTW what did you do with them? Toss them in the empty IO buckets in the garage?

Yes, that way the opossums can stay warm all winter!

They have no demonstrated utility.

I love to revive old controversy Randy; as your forum gets so dull.

I heard you use one in your hot tub as well as your tank. Any truth to that?

I heard he tied one around his neck like a necklace to cure arthritis! Or maybe he was using WD-40 on his joints I don't remember which.

You can't be a true hero Esper until you get a magical Eco Aquilizer. It is what allows a true hero to tune into the Force. Having one in the hot tub helps keeps you faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive...

Hey Tom, look at Espers occupation! Do you think we are being watched by big brother??? I think people would have trouble analyzing me. I'm a lot like R.P. McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cucoo's Nest, am I sane or am I crazy?

A friend told me about this product 3 days ago and I was leary about it. After doing much research, I am finding that it is what I suspected it was. I am new to this hobby but I'm not so ignorant as to believe in every so called MIRACLE product out there. Thank you all for your words of wisdom and wit. -SoLiD

Hi SoLiD
[welcome]

A good philosophy. Miracles do happen but proper husbandry practice is a sure thing.
