Stinks in 2 ways
Date: June 16, 2009
"the first way it stinks is that i spilled some on my carpet and now my room reeks of that nasty smell. Second I have used this product 3 times and it has not affected my nitrate levels at all. Not even 1 ppm"

Great product
Date: April 14, 2009
"Does have a horrible smell to it but it does work. I had an ammonia problem in my little betta tank and the other product I was using didn't seem to work. Tried this and all is well. The smell goes away shortly after using it."

Wonder treatment!
Date: December 5, 2008
"I was having a huge unexpected nitrate spike, and nothing seemed to help. I was doing massive water changes, adding bacteria, and just nothing was working.
Luckily, before any fishy casualties occurred, I ran to Petco and got some of this. Overnight, my nitrates had reduced from nearly lethal to close to normal, and all of my fish made it. This was really a lifesaver."

Comes to the rescue!
Date: June 20, 2008
"I have a 55 gallon tank and had a nitrate spike one night! We rushed to Petco and got this and have been using it since. Last night, we did emergency water changes to help a dying fish and we used this. This morning, my angelfish is well again!
Thank you for this wonderful product!!!"

Great on established tanks
Date: May 4, 2008
"I use this for aquariums up to about 20 gallon tanks.I like the fact that it's easy to measure for my 5gal. Betta tanks.I also like the fact that it detoxifies harmful Nitrites/Nitrates etc.
You can find cheaper conditioners,but I've been very happy using this one,because most of my tanks are established and sometimes those Nitrates can creep up.."

Works Great
Date: February 29, 2008
"I use this to treat my tap water prior to water changes since my water company adds ammonia, chloromines and chlorine. You only need a couple drops. I did my own tests and it works great."

A little smelly, but absolutely excellent.
Date: January 28, 2008
"Amquel is the BEST product for your Chloramine, Chlorine, Ammonia, Nitrites and Nitrate-removing needs. Smells terrible, but great for your tank."

It may work, but the stench is too much!
Date: December 18, 2006
"I rarely need to use an ammonia detox but I always keep one on hand - I am disappointed that Petco no longer has the original AmQuel as that seemed to work just fine for me and did not have an overwhelming odor. AmQuel+'s odor is TOO much - after using it, the entire room where the tank is reeks for hours. I would not recommend this product because the odor is much too strong, despite the fact that it does work. I wish that original AmQuel was still sold - I am keeping AmmoLock on hand instead for those rare times I might need it. If you can somehow stand the odor though, I am sure this is a better product."

It may reek but it WORKS!!
Date: May 4, 2006
"On the contrary it may smell of sulfur bad. But sulphur is what detoxifies ammonia. And being this is Amquel plus it will smell even more because its more concentrated with sodium hydroxymethanesulfonate which is what removes ammonia,nitrite and nitrates and is also a form of sulfur which obviously smells duh!. This stuff works and works better when following the directions and not overdoing it. If you see Ammonia,nitrite, and nitrate levels rising in your tank i recommend using this.Whats really cool is that its safe for those super sensitive saltwater tanks and works just as good."

This stuff stinks!
Date: November 26, 2005
"I bought this at my local store when they were out of regular Amquel. This stuff reeks of sulfur. If you get it on your hands, they reek of sulfur and it's very difficult to remove the smell. When I moved the bottle tipped and leaked and I had to discard every porous item in the box. I knew it had leaked because I could smell it from across the house. I'm not particularly sensitive to odors, but I won't have this stuff in my house. Amquel is great, but Amquel Plus stinks, literally."
