Fish Fanatic
So I got a bottle of stability and it wreaks of garlic. I know garlic is added to a lot off fish food so it wasn't going to hurt my fish, I just thought it was a little odd to add garlic to a non-food product and continued dosing with it.
Then smart old me thought maybe something wasn't right so I googled it and found out that's not the norm. All I could find on it was something seachem posted on their website 4 years ago about running a batch of stability right after making a batch of garlic guard. They had the same problem but tested the bacteria levels and everything was fine so they decided they would just not run them back to back again and told people not to worry about using the garlic-y product. The only other thing that showed up on Google was a post on a different forum from a week ago of someone asking the same thing.
So, two questions... first, should I just assume they did the same thing again and continue using? And secondly, is there any evidence that garlic would harm the beneficial bacteria that maybe seachem either didn't find in their own studies or decided to cover up?
