I would, but I'm afraid my atheistic and often overbearing slant would cause much grief on a public forum, Ha! Ha!

Regardless, I've never seen a good review of a live pod product. And yes, I've seen the product in person. Something about packaging bottles of water and throwing some debris into it just doesn't sit right with me. That's just IMO though. Take that as you will, your mileage may vary.

You can actually see live pods swimming around in the bottle though. I think if you follow the directions, they will all die. It tells you to float the bottle for a bit, then just dump the contents into your tank. The osmotic should would easily be enough to kill all the pods.

I was wondering about acclimatizing also, but then we dump in LR or cheato and pods survive.

I used them in the rufugium to seed it and it took a while but the refugium is full of them now.I think they need a little less flow to get started.JMO.Clint

When i tried 3rd time i acclimatized for 3(!) days and no pods survived .
May be i just will dump them next time
