I can almost guarantee its just like other supplements, I won't mention them, that claim to do the same thing to LR and corals. Probably just a mixture of vitamins, elements already known to be involved in calcification, biotin or vitamin B7, calcium carbonate, sugars, yeast, amino acids, and more calcium carbonate. So the coralline algae can mainly be attributed to the calcium carbonate, which is a very poor way of dosing calcium and alkalinity anyways.

Seems like the same guy that PM'd you is the same guy selling it...or they both misspelled the same word.

From his PM to you "yust bid over $45 and PM the seller "i want the secret formula"

and from ebay "See For your self picture After & Before yust shake and add 2 tsp everyday"

"yust"

lol the guy said it worked for him
when you got old school people that do it only one way everything is snake oil to them. to hard headed to try new things i guess
everytime someone says it worked for them its a scam to others becaue they havent heard of it or tryed it.
i use tri base carbon and it works great as long as you use it like it is set to be used

it would just be good to get the ingredients, IMO if you balance your Calcium , Alk, and magnesium you will have great success and you dont need any other supplements besides water changes

I smell a dead anenomea!

Lets count the similarities between you and your ebay auction:

1) Your name is HPlexx, the ebayer is HPdesigns, HP anyone?
2) You continuously spell "Yust" and not "Just" in both your online posts and your ebay sale
3) The search function shows that you basically tout this "miricle formula" that no-ones ever heard of in all 3 of the posts you've participated in.
4) Interestingly enough, you postings here and e-bay sales of this miracle formula begin at roughly the same time.

Now, I understand you may have this new super product you developed and are trying to advertise and market it. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't I don't know. But you're blatantly lying to fellow reefers about a product in the hopes of making money, that makes me feel like you don't want to stand behind your product, and therefore that it may not do anything, or worse, could severely hurt a members tank.

If you believe you have a truely marketable new product I suggest a new ad campaign complete with a webcam on a new tank that can show you dosing your new product and its effects doctumented with tank readings to boot, or, perhaps you'd like to give a free sample to fellow reefers for a limited time so they can see the power of your miracle product for themselves. If it is indeed a miracle product reefers will come.

Don't believe me? Take the Glass aquarium! IT's a miracle of design, a clear box that's water tight- someone invented it, reefers came, and now we can't get enough of these over valued lumps of melted beach sand and silicon.

Remember, in just about every buisness venture you have to spend money to make money. Put your money where your mouth is, back up your product or give it a way, either way protect your customers.
