Testimonial - Delta Rivers Nature Center
September 18, 2002
Dear Ken:
About 2 months ago I began using the
Aquaculture product as per you instructions. At that
time I was having a lot of trouble maintaining clarity
on a consistent basis in the 25,000 gallon outdoor
aquarium exhibit that I manage here at the Governor Mike
Huckabee Delta Rivers Nature Center in Pine Bluff,
Arkansas.
The outdoor aquariums are fully
exposed to sun the entire length of the day and
subsequently their algae load is enormous. I have tried
many products to enhance the capability of the
inadequate filtration system. Often the water looked
much like "pea soup". Adding a new ultra violet light to
the system made a significant difference, but the
filtration system was not capable of removing the bulk
of the particulate matter from the system once the
summer algae load commenced. The bag filters were fouled
daily with heavy "sludge" and the water, though clearer
from the U.V., was still very clouded. Patrons often
asked if we were pumping in Arkansas River water because
they were unable to see the aquariums clearly.
After the initial treatment there was
a dramatic clarity the following day. The clarity was
not initially consistent until I was able to build the
product up in the system over the period of about one
month. During that time I added about one cup per week,
treating the tanks aggressively. I have been
subsequently able to reduce to a maintenance dose of 4
oz., every 2 weeks.
Now, after two months of treatment, I
have very clear water, despite facing the hottest and
most intense days of summer weather that last year
produced terrible visibility due to algae. The
particulate matter in the water has been dramatically
reduced. The bag filters now stay remarkably clean, even
going 2 to three days between changes. It seems to have
reduced the algae load on the filtration system
significantly and has thereby greatly reduced my
workload!
I appreciate all the time and effort
you and other staff members gave to help me achieve the
water clarity I had been seeking, but not hitherto been
able to find!
Sincerely,
