Watergarden Crap!

This is the kind of product literatrure we get all the time at our store. Notice the note on the yellow post it. It says " These are great for the Koi" and it is initialed by thew owner. It's as if we are idiots and the note is there to inform us of what the product is good for. Needless to say the product info is now in the trash.

This is the PROBLEM with the watergarden industry. They make products and include Koi in the picrtures, to help sell the product, and there is absolutlety no concern for the truth. It is just about how much they can make.

Damn, that only leaves me with one picture.

Oops, never mind, I altered the pictures. I don't want to lose the flavor of my thread.
