Well, I'm going to continue to monitor it while I figure out a new plan. I don't think it is a hoax but I also don't think it is the magic juice either. Does work well as a clarifier though and I would probably have used it for that in the future if not for the price increase.

I noticed the change on the pond doctors website also. Prices went up and it is hard to tell what is a clarifier and what is a sealant although I think the product is suppose to work both ways. Also hard to see what is what as the DB-110 is referenced as the clarifier and the DB-100 the sealant. I didn't really see a new and improved...where did you read the 40% stronger?

haha...send me a sample of your DB-500 and I'll try it : )
