Snake Oil???

Yeah, I noticed that when I (shortly) had a glass thermometer. It made me nervous because they would NOT leave the damn thing alone, so I got one of the stick on side thermometers. A glass object breaking in the tank sounds like a nightmare!

But yes, the product was given to me after a water testing awhile back. It was actually pretty cheap, but probably not very useful except perhaps for medicine?
I use Seachem Prime and Stability(for water changes) and my tank health has been very good. The nitrates are higher than I'd prefer, but from what I understand planting should take care of that.

It really is amazing how most chain petshops know little/nothing about ACFs

I stopped listening to pet shop employees and owners a long time ago. They're in the business of selling and making money. Rarely will they be honest with you. With competition from big brand pet stores it's gotten even worse. Knowledgeable employees in pet stores are few and far between.

Best to educate yourself from other frog keepers.
