Patrice, two of our members just started testing them in their home aquariums. Their threads are in the Equipment forum.

No water changes! That’s like a dream!
I would be curious to hear from people who use this system. If it could only allow us to skip a water change once in a while, that would be great.

Does any one here tried it?

Regards
Patrice

I fail to see how this is anything more then a reverse UGF – which aren’t that great, but still better then a regular UGF, with an HOB filter on the back into which you toss the Nitrate bags.
The UGF portion of this tank is completely unnecessary and could be replaced with any other type of filter.
The Nitrate bags are what keeps you from having to do water changes. Even then you’ll still need to vacuum the gravel on occasion, and I really want to know how well those bags actually work.

I’m not sold. Smells like snake-oil to me.

This could very well be the product that people have been waiting for to make keeping fish just that much easier and encourage new comers.

I was under the impression that you changed water to remove desolved solids and stuff that needs to be removed/replaced. Not like poo or anything… But like the meds and chemicals you use in aquariums….
So like, you still would have to waterchange, perhaps a little less often… But yeah… It might be a great filtration device…

I don’t know about never changing my aquarium water but after checking out the eco-magic I think it’s definitely something I would like to have for my severely over stocked tank.
