Product Info
It takes a lot of guts to try a new technique, change the setting on a pump or light, alter a water change schedule, etc. Understandably, these changes aren’t carried out with at least a little bit of stress; after all, we pour lots of heart, soul, blood, sweat, tears and cold hard cash into our aquarium systems. Really, what it all boils down to is that we are putting the lives of our beloved pets on the line. So, it takes even more guts, and trust, to take a chance on a new product. Aquarists generally like to research products thoroughly before using them, much less purchasing them. However, it can be rather difficult to find good information about a prospective product, even online–if the info exists at all. Product descriptions, by design, offer plenty of hype but offer little in the way of detailed explanation of how a product works. And in all fairness, the conventional product description is simply too short and refined to allow for that level of elaboration. This is why AlgaeBarn is dedicated to providing its customers with plentiful, honest, relevant, in-depth product information. Our writing team has worked well into many nights conducting that “extra” research so that you don’t have to! Our blog catalogue contains as much content as the average double-volume work of nonfiction, all of which speaks directly to the common needs and questions of our clientele–no hype. Best of all, with so much professionally penned info under your belt, you’ll never have to feel like you’re taking any chances with your valuable aquarium livestock when using our products for the first time. In this section, you will learn all about AlgaeBarn products, the impact they will have on your animals and whether or not they are right for you and your tank!
