We'll never know if the different products from different company might react with another chemical. I remember there was some product from Seachem that would be affected by other brands of anti chlorine or something. For me i try to stay on a brand of products.

Ya painful lesson learnt, stick to basics, wc.

The product does work, water super clear now. But what a heavy price i paid for it, don't even want to enjoy it now.

i dont add any chemical product to my tank except for the anti chlorine during WC. I believe WC and good filtration is the way to keep your water condition good.

Sorry for your huge loss bud. Thanks for sharing such experiences even though it's painful for you. We can only learn from our mistakes and improved ourselves from it.

Sorry for your loss. Im staying away from petfran products due to the same reason. I also try not add any binder chemical and rather depend on frequent water changes. Of course the only exception chemical is anti chorine which i trust on the safe powder.

I recall when i still have 30 mini ebh growing up i did try adding water clarifier plus by microbe-lift. It is a polymeric blend solution. I thought i want to enjoy pristine clear water. Last wc about a week back then. Just few minutes upon adding the solution into the tank my ebh starts dashing around and 3 belly up. Fhfl do wc and save the rest of my ebh. Other than microbe-lift clarifier i also tried bioearth with no ill effect. But still wc the best to clear up water.

To me, moral of the story is if it ain't broken, don't fix it. I have never used products that guarantee crystal clear water as I know that at the end of the day, it all depends on the filtration. About Petfran products on the other hand, I try to stay away as I trust more seasoned companies who have been in the industry for a while. I had a bad experience using their pH pen as the reading is far from accurate. I actually used a Sera Test kit and a Pinpoint pH meter to confirm the readings and they were world's apart.

bro, bingo! I guess the bottomline : maintain good water parameters.

honest, I am still using petfran ultimate coat formula 7 water conditioner. so far so good for more than 3 years.
