Good Product!
This is the second “gravel” cleaner I have used (Dr Tim’s Waste Away is the other). To cut to the chase, these types of bacterial cleaners do work, but they are more subtle than you may think. They will not get rid of large fish food flakes that are rotting on your gravel (you need to vacuum those out yourself). But they are effective at digesting and breaking down the detrius that gets into your gravel over time. They also do act as nitrifying bacteria, specifically for nitrates which can help control that issue and extend water change times. Personally, I appreciate bacteria products for aquariums as it establishes a more natural environment for the fish.But, (and there is always a but!), you must be careful in using these type of cleaner bacteria. Never use more than recommended (error on the lessor side!) They can and will use up the oxygen in the tank and essentially “drown” your fish if used in high concentrations. At normal/recommended usage levels they are safe for all your aquarium pets. If you find your fish gasping for breath immediately stop using the product and do what you can to get more air in the water (bubblers and water changes will work).Because these bacteria will use oxygen, they respire CO2 and this will help your plants as well. Also, I would not use this type of product if you have a heavily planted tank and are using a CO2 system…this will be almost certain death for your fish due to lack of oxygen… So again be aware of product usage and its effects on oxygen levels.The product recommends using it once every week or two…I would recommend once every 2 weeks to be safest. Also, I would recommend a good gravel cleaning (at least the top of the gravel) to get rid of the large pieces of detrius first, then applying the product.The bottle will serve 1880 gallons of water…in a 75G tank, using once every two weeks, the bottle will last about a year.Another tip…don’t use more than one bacterial product on any one day. Spread apart their usage i.e., use nitrifying bacteria on one day and then a day or two later use this product or other bacteria products…you want to give each bacteria product time to start growing and reproducing.Finally, this product has one issue that should be corrected immediately. Bacteria products do not last forever in a bottle. you should always know how fresh the product is and how long before it expires. The product should be clearly labelled with its date produced and its expiration date. Most products like these are generally good for a year, maybe two, if they are stored properly. Only buy freshly produced product for best results! If its been sitting on a store shelf or warehouse in an uncontrolled environment for a year or so look for something fresher…dead bacteria from poor storage and age is the biggest problem with these kinds of products.

Great addition to maintenance routine
I put the initial dose of Natural Rapport in my tank the day it arrived and so far so good.It’s been almost a week, and the first thing I noticed was the debris that had been caught in my dwarf hair grass was slowly disappearing. That was maybe three days into it. Now it’s completely clear! I also was fighting off some slimy fuzz on my Vesuvius, and it is almost completely gone. Yay!It was great timing for me to find this product as I just bought a bunch of new plants, and I’m very happy to say they are handling their new environment very well. They all look crisp and healthy with minimal shock to older leaves(as I usually experience between shipping and transplanting), and I’m sure that the beneficial bacteria in the Natural Rapport is helping very much.Thanks again for the personal attention.Sincerely,Donica TibbettsP.S. Something I would say to all the negative comments about fish dying etc that I’ve seen; adding beneficial bacteria to your tank is in no way a replacement to regular scheduled water changes and tank maintenance. In addition, if your tank isn’t properly cycled, or it’s out of whack due to neglect, if you just go and drop a bunch of bacteria in there it’s going to shock the system. Aquarists need to remember that even a small dip or raise in PH can shock or kill fish, and shock can compromise their immune system, leading to any number of infections. Your fish can even become accustomed to poor water quality.I would recommend adding your first dose right after, or with a major water change to prevent any major shifts in the cycle, in addition to a water conditioner with a slime coat protectant to help reduce shock.Adding beneficial bacteria is not dangerous, or harmful, but when you make any sort of change in your aquarium environment you are upsetting the balance in the water column whether in the negative or positive. Aquarists should know this and simply handle any aquarium supplements appropriately and with good aquarium-keeping sense.

This product is an absolute must for any aquarium. After reading the reviews I thought Iâd give this a try as Iâm struggling with my tank with one fish in particular getting fin rot and continuously having problems. I couldnât recommend this product enough! My tank after two weeks with one use is absolutely pristine, waste and left over food, nothing in sight after a water change. Makes cleaning and water changes easy and cuts time. Very happy fish! Thank you

I was pretty unmoved by what I read in the reviews for this before I bought it, despite everyone singing its praises. I figured it wasn’t going to be anything special, but I was willing to give it a shot. I am one hundred percent converted. I always used to look at other people’s aquariums and be jealous of their crystal clear water; mine always seemed to be cycling or dirty, one or the other.I have no idea what this stuff actually does, but it makes your water magically clear and clean in ways it wasn’t before, and it can even lead to a decrease in the number of water changes you need to do. It’s now part of my weekly essentials along with dechlorinator, I’ve been buying it ever since and will continue to do so.I almost had a heart attack at one point when it looked like it had been discontinued, but it has just changed its branding and packaging. If you bough the old Natural Rapport, this is the same stuff, they haven’t changed the formula. Praise the sun!

Hello.Your product is the best thing I have ever used, I had a problem in my tank,I did the usual daily water changes and full service of pump etc. after using various products , the problem was still there. Then I read about your product, After 3 days I could not believe the difference in the clarity of my tank, and my clown loaches are now swimming about the tank as normal. I have had my clown loaches for over 20 years now, I did not want to lose them. A truly perfect product for all who love to keep their tank fresh and healthy. I would highly recommend both seller and product. Many thanks for such a remarkable product.
