Lee,
You read my mind (that's why I was asking him for the name of the product). Koizyme, is another name for this product.

There are two schools of thought about its usage. The first being a bandaid to help control gram negative bacteria in less than adequate pond systems. This is usually due to lack of filtration, lack of turnover, lack of solid waste collection methods and or poorly maintained systems. These factors can and should all be corrected anyway.

The second school of thought involves the use of this product as an "insurance policy" so to speak by lowering the CFU counts even further for a well designed and maintained system. This concept has pros and cpons as well. Lower counts = lower susceptibilities to bacteria invasions. On the opther hand it too could lead to lack of fully developed immune response by "perhaps" supplying too much of a "bubble" effect.

Its one of those evaluate the product and its perceived effects .....cost vs benefit.
