This product has worked very well to keep cats and herons out of the yard. The raccoons could care less. I haven't had a deer problem this year so I am not sure how well it works for deer. I put a Y splitter on the hose bib and plumbed a small piece of hose dedicated to the scarecrow. Made it easy to activate when I needed it.

This is a great magazine to have show up in the mailbox. Always a good read. Not my favorite but worth the subscription.

Out of all the subscriptions I have this one rates #1. I like the more indepth information it provides. The articles are written well and geared toward the serious hobbiest.

This is my favorite food so far. The fish thrive on it and the price is right. I don't feel like I am getting ripped off.

I acutally won a bag of the gold. I would definately buy this food. The koi really like it and are doing well. I have mixed it with some OSI 168 all season growth and that is working well too.

I really like this food and the fish seem to thrive on it. I mixed it with some all season and they selected out the premium pellets. Picky fish! I got great growth and color. The price is a bit of a deterrent though.

I used this product when I had a rock bottom pond. Seemed to help keep the mulm down and is a good choice if you don't want to remove the rocks. I didn't notice the product bothering the fish in anyway.

This pump is powerful and seems to have bullet proof construction. It is super quiet! The company shipped same day I ordered and the customer service is great. Highly recommend.

This product is one of the few algae control products that I acutally liked. It seemed to work very well with a moderate algae bloom. It was hard to get the pond clear with a really heavy bloom and lots of sunny days. The product just couldn't keep up well enough for me. I have since installed a UV and have had great success with that solution. I would recommend this product though for moderate blooms as it did work well.

I didn't have a lot of luck with this product and it made me nervous every time I added it to the pond. I no longer have to use chemical additives for clear water. I would recommend adding better filtration and UV over adding this product.

I have had great results with this product. Very safe to use. Be sure to read the label as it does diminish the effects of some medications. Good stuff!

I love this filter and it works like a charm! So easy to backwash and the low profile is attractive. My water is crystal clear! As with all bead filters it has been a little difficult getting the bio established.

Review:
This is a very easy kit to use. I am a bit clutsy and have broken two of the vials and not sure where to get more. I have found the PH test can be inaccurate if you don't get the vials washed out after each use. Tends to read a very high PH if contaminated from previous tests. Just an FYI.

This test kit works great for me. They include a syringe to transfer the water into the test vials which really makes it easier to be accurate. One thing to watch out for is the PH reagents. If you are testing fresh water don't accidently grab the salt water reagent. I just took it out of the box and put it in a cupboard. I laminated the instructions for each test so they wouldn't get wet.
