Warning: Use Vibrant at your own risk

Thank you for telling me this. I’m a newish T5 user and it’s almost time for me to replace my bulbs and I never knew they weren’t allowed to go in the garbage.

I’m glad I know this now. I wish the sites would mention this when I purchased it because I genuinely never knew.
This is definitely part of the problem. It's up to the buyer to research. I think it should be put back on the company to state this (or down the drain, etc) on the packaging in countries where it's not allowed. IMO
 
At page 71 I'm officially all caught up and still see no reply from UWC unless I missed it somewhere in between Randy's comment where UWC said Tue or We'd and now. ;-)

Sorry everyone. I am not going to post it. It wasn't that juicy, just weird and kind of disturbing that someone would seek out other members to push their narrative even further after it was shutdown. This is why I am thankful that you are all here to support the positive end of hobby.
 
I clicked on this thread for the first time today. I only read the last 5 pages or so. This guy's been jerking you around for quite a while. Sometimes almost taunting people in the other (fluconazole) thread.

Here's the funny thing. I have some bubble algae and picked up a bottle of virbant a month or two ago. After I spent $25 on it, looked it up online and decided against adding it. It's still sitting in a cabinet, unopened. I don't have a dog in this fight, but after the way he's been acting here. I can honestly say I won't use it.

As other people have said, no one cares if it has algaecide in it, as long as it says it has algaecide in it. I'd even be fine with it containing a 'proprietary algaecide' so they don't have to tell us exactly what it is. But I'd still like a general idea as to what I'm putting in my tank.

IOW, the way UWC has been acting has turned me, and probably others like me, from a potential customer because I didn't have a strong opinion one way or the other, to actively pushing away another, albeit small, source of income.

Now, if anyone has a good way to get rid of some bubble algae, I'm all ears. Tank is too small for tangs (40g) and I get worried about emerald crabs attacking corals or other inverts.
Its a discussion. That means talking. Right?

The truth about drainage is out there Sean! Dont buy into the non-drain propaganda, open your eyes, man!
 
Hello Everyone,

As everyone knows Vibrant has been wildly popular. We stand by Vibrant 100% and we are not taking these accusations lightly.

At this time, we have samples of Vibrant out to Labs for independent certified testing dating back to batches from 2016 to current to compare them to see if there have been any changes in the production of Vibrant.

We are hoping to have these results back by the end of this week and we will post everything that we have.

I know this post will not please everyone, but we want to have as much information as possible for the community before we make any official statements.

Thank you,
Jeff
