"...Thanks to Algone, that my friends "ENDURING" algae problem was fixed in a mere two days. I helped him set up his first aquarium, and he insisted to place his 30 gallon tank near a window facing "WEST!". The outbreak took only 3 hours right after the day the bio-filter system completed, and Nitrate level begun being detectable. Nothing works, and we were completely frustrated until using Algone. I can't comment on Algone much, because it was simply "drop and forget", and so effective that you needn't do anything else apart from cleaning out the dead algae after a serious outbreak..."

Cheerio, Macbrush


"...Great product at a great price. Thanks folks, this stuff works like a miracle. I don't have a single spot of algae any more and looking through my 125 gal. tank the long way (end-to-end), it is totally clear. Well done, and I look forward to a long and happy relationship with Algone..."

Darryl H. - Paradise, California


"...I held off writing, just to be sure, but it's true! ALGONE is the BEST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER USED in my aquarium!! It is truly amazing that I have an aquarium in my SUN ROOM with NO ALGAE!!  Yes ... it was DUMB to put it there (truly a "senior moment") and it took a while for ALGONE to bail me out (three weeks)... but now after two months without green water I'm a believer. In addition, I can throw out all the other chemicals I used to treat my aquarium. I have used ALGONE and ONLY ALGONE in my tank weekly for the past three months with only normal water changes. I couldn't be happier with the results ... and I never thought fish could smile ... but they do with ALGONE..."

Barry C. - Marietta, Georgia


"...I have a 3 year old 37 gal reef aquarium, two months ago 
I developed a "nasty" green hair algae "take-over". Despite my many water changes and green hair "trims" it seemed only to get stronger and thicker. Finally, the last straw, it killed two of my brains }:-\ 
I'd read all the feedback about Algone, and it was truly last ditch effort. I used two pouches the first week, and by the second week I could tell that the green hair algae was losing the battle, it would just siphon right off. By the middle of the third week, I had "NO TRACE" of green hair algae. It truly saved my aquarium, THANK YOU ALGONE..."

Edgar J. - San Diego, California


"...Algone saved my freshwater aquarium. I had hair algae throughout and once I started using Algone my problem magically disappeared..."

Edward S. - Wales, Wisconsin


"...I must say I wasn't sure if this stuff would work. Nothing else I tried would get rid of my green water problem and a very high rise of nitrite and nitrate in another tank. I found out what the nitrite/nitrate problem was but was having a hard time getting the levels down. Water changes were just taking too long. After one week with Algone all my problems vanished. This is the most amazing product I have seen for aquariums ever. What is so great is it works for more than one thing. I tried algae removing chemicals and nitrite absorbing packs and none of them ever worked. I've told everybody about Algone and will continue doing so. This stuff is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!"

Todd D. - Niles, Michigan


"...At the time I called and ordered your product I too was skeptical that anything so easy could possibly work so well as claimed. The problem I had was with my 180gal reef tank. Hair algae was taking over my tank and was getting to the point of being uncontrollable. The tank itself is setup using a modified Berlin filtration system and had been stable for over 4 years...until now. Upon using Algone in two separate treatments, I couldn't believe the difference. In just less than 4 weeks, there's not one hint of hair algae to be found...anywhere! UNBELIEVABLE! Nitrate levels dropped from 9ppm to undetectable in 2 weeks. Water clarity has also improved. Whatever is in those pouches has made a believer out of me. Thanks so much for making a product that actually works!..."

Kelly K. - Gardena, California


"...I have 25, 55 & 80 gallon saltwater tanks...Product worked well on water clarity as well as hair algae in 80. Still experiencing phosphate algae, although at a lesser degree..."

Chuck L. - Savannah, Georgia


"...I am writing to let you know how much success I have had with your product Algone. I have been using Algone in my filter for about four weeks. I initially bought it to try to get rid of the brown algae and the ammonia that was building up in my new 72 gallon tank. I have done a water test and for the first time EVER I am showing a reading of 0 ammonia. All of the brown algae is gone as well, and everything was covered! I have taken before and after pics for you and as soon as they are developed, I will pass them on.
I am so relieved that I don't have to worry about the ammonia anymore. Thank you for such an incredible product!! I will tell my local aquarium store about your product. When I asked them what to do about my problems, they of course said the usual water change for the ammonia, and the brown algae would eventually go away. Well they will have a new answer for people now! "Algone!"
Thanks again..."

Angela D. - Eau Claire, Wisconsin


"...I've now got coralline coming out of my ears. Sure beats that awful brown/black algae I used to have. Thanks Algone..."

Stephen L. - Toronto, Canada


"...Algone works! I'd done everything right with my 72 gallon saltwater tank but couldn't rid it of the huge brown algae blooms...used only R/O water and did regular water changes, used high volume protein skimmer, kept a light fish load, never overfed and kept tank lighting to minimal hours. Water tests were in normal ranges and my dealer was unable to offer any effective advice. I was at wits end when I turned to the internet and searched for info on algae control....I quickly found the Algone site but was wary of the claims and of the endorsements. After calling Algone for more info, I ordered a supply. I did a water change, placed two bags in the sump and waited...in less than 2 weeks the algae was greatly diminished. That was a few weeks ago and now I get very little algae which is easily managed and my fish do enjoy some algae. Water is crystal clear and my tank has never looked better. I'll be a regular customer. I've given my dealer the Algone package and asked him to order some to check-it-out for himself..."

Bob R. - Haines City, Florida


...I have today placed my third or fourth order for Algone. I find that the product does everything that it advertises. I have no more ammonia! I have no more nitrite! And I have only a very acceptably low reading (less then 5 ppm) for non-toxic nitrate! Equally important to me, is that I have NO MORE ALGAE in my tanks! Looking forward to your next excellent newsletter. Your web site is book marked as one of my favorites. Many thanks for your courteous personnel, your customer service and prompt shipments always..."

Your Customer,
Richard A. S. - Decatur, Alabama

P.S. My 30 fish thank you, too!


"...I use Algone in 4 of the 5 aquariums at the house. I also use it in all my aquarium maintenance service aquariums. There has been no problem with algae, ammonia or nitrite in any of these freshwater tanks. The nitrate level runs between 0-5ppm. Keeping these tanks sparking clean is good for business and I am proud to say that Algone has helped make my job a lot easier..."

Jackie D. / Happy Tanks - Pacific Grove, California


"...I placed my 2nd order today of 8 pks. I am really impressed with the results of Algone. Before I used it, my 100 gal. tank was murky with green algae. I just left the plants and drift wood alone, added Algone, and let it go to work. I still have algae on the wood, but it looks good..."

Jennifer B. - Fresno, California 


"...I struggled for 10 years trying to eliminate algae from this salt tank. It's a 27 gal. tall tank with a canister filter/biowheel combo, a protein skimmer, and two power heads. Since using Algone for two months the tank has NEVER been this clean! Attached are before and after photos. The clownfish is 10+ years old..."

Michael C. - Tempe, Arizona


"...O.K., I was skeptical at first but Algone is the best thing that has EVER happened to algae control! Keep up the good work..." 

William L. - Hayden Lake, Idaho


"...The constant formation of algae and the lingering cloudiness in my freshwater tank turned a hobby into a chore. I tried just about every product out there that claimed to get rid of algae and cloudy water. None of them worked. Then I came across the Algone website and decided to give it a try. I did a complete and thorough cleaning of the tank before placing Algone in my filter box. It's been about 5 weeks and my tank is still clear. No algae. No cloudiness. Algone works! I strongly recommend Algone to anyone who is going through what I went through..."

Duy N. - Mission Viejo, California


"...I had used Algone for about seven months and did not notice anything special ... until I stopped using it. Within a month nitrates and algae were out of control. Algone is kind of like a good pair of shocks on your car, you don't notice it until you don't have it..." 

Tyler J. - Greenwood, Indiana


"...I tried Algone and it cleared all of the algae out of my plant tank in a couple weeks. This with Dayton, Ohio tap water is impressive. Our water has 2ppm of PO4, and about 20-30 ppm nitrate. Excellent Product..." 

Gary H. - West Carrollton, Ohio


"...Just wanted to let you know MY RED ALGAE IS GONE !! It's almost to good to be true. I have fought that red algae and run away nitrates since last summer, and now they are gone. I am just thrilled. I have one more packet of Algone for next week and you can bet I will be ordering more. Thanks again..."

Emma B. - Lorton, Virginia


"...I have 25, 55 & 80 gallon saltwater tanks...Product worked well on water clarity as well as hair algae in 80. Still experiencing phosphate algae, although at a lesser degree..."

Chuck L. - Savannah, Georgia


"...The first order I used greatly reduced the amount of red slime algae in my tank, but I had such a severe problem, I'm ordering another dose. Great Product..."

Kevin P. - West Melbourne, Florida


"...I just wanted to update you on my progress. I received my Algone just 2 days after ordering and was very eager to plop it in my tanks... but, I waited until I had enough time to REALLY clean both tanks, especially my gross 20 gallon, before tossing it in. (I wanted to give it a fair shot at working.) I don't know if you remember my first email letter, but I'll refresh your memory: my name is Debbie and I have 2 tanks. My 20 gal is a year old and has a bad algae problem. My 75 gal is brand new.. up for only almost 4 weeks. My major concern was the algae growth. I had to scrape the glass daily to even see the fish (in the 20 gal)... not to mention the nice expensive coral pieces that are brown. This past Saturday, I spent 4 hours cleaning everything in the 20 gal and did a 20% water change... then placed the Algone bag in the filter. The 75 gal wasn't that bad being that it has only been up for 4 weeks... so I cleaned the glass and the coral pieces and placed 2 Algone bags in the filter system. The 75 gal is still cycling and has zero ammonia and nitrite of about 4! But, I wasn't freaking out... after all, it's cycling. Well, (this is the good part!!!!) today is Tuesday and I still have NO ALGAE GROWTH in either tank. I cannot believe my eyes! When I tell you my 20 gal had a BAD algae problem, I mean it... it was gross... I would clean the tank really well every Saturday and scrape the glass everyday (almost everyday... I would have days of discouragement... it seemed useless!) and I would wake up the next morning and see algae starting already! I'm not kidding! It was out of control! It is Tuesday... 3 days since placing Algone in the tank... and I have no algae! I don't want to get too excited so soon, but I know my tank... it has NEVER looked this bright, crisp, and sparkling for so many days without cleaning it every day! I swear I haven't touched it since Saturday! (Who am I trying to convince here... Ha!Ha!) I am amazed. I love your product! Oh, I almost forgot... my 75 gal (no algae growth there either) that had a nitrite level of 4 on Saturday... the level is already down to 0.5! Now, I know it may be partly due to the natural growth of the necessary nitrifying bacteria... but I doubt if it would have dropped this much so rapidly without the Algone! Have I mentioned how excited I am? Ha!Ha! May I ask one question? Since the algae growth is ceased, should I change the bags only monthly... or is it too soon. When should I start the maintenance part of the Algone system? I will keep you updated on my progress. But, so far Algone get my highest marks! I can actually enjoy my fish instead of peering through the algae to see them! I've always wanted beautiful marine aquariums... and now I've got them! Thank you..."

Debbie B. - North Tonawanda, New York


"...I have just submitted an order to you via the "express lane" mechanism--great idea! I also wanted to let you know that the Algone is taking care of my algae problem just as you promised. My aquarium is in a bright sunroom, and it is looking better than ever. The water quality is still improving, and the algae is disappearing. I'm only halfway through the initial treatment.
Thanks for a great product..."

Bob V. - Huntersville, North Carolina


"...We have a show tank at the entrance of our store. Keeping the algae under control was never possible because of the large amount of sun light. Since we started stocking Algone we also use it in the store. We no longer have trouble with algae in this particular tank. It's terrific..."

Elmer's Aquarium, Monroeville, Pennsylvania


"...We are very happy with Algone. We have been using Algone in our show tanks for some time now and are not only pleased with the results, but also with the simplicity of the product. It's quick and easy to use..."

Pet Supplies Plus, Cranberry, Pennsylvania


"...Algone is a great product. We keep our nitrate levels low with Algone and haven't had any algae problems since we started using it..."

Wet Pets and Friends, McMurray, Pennsylvania


"...We use Algone in our own tanks. We mainly use it to treat for blue-green and hair algae. We also use Algone to maintain low nitrate levels. We are very happy with the product..."

All Star Pets, Zelienople, Pennsylvania


"...It really works! I can't believe how clear the water in my tank is. My nitrate levels are in check and all of the algae has disappeared. My fish are livelier then ever.
Thanks Algone..."
