Hi, my name is Ashlyn, I am the owner of Root Guard. I find there is a lot of misinformation that is spread widely across the internet. I see in the comments that people are saying to run a sterile res. Whereas there is no right or wrong way to do this, running a sterile res with h2o2 or drops of bleach just leaves more room for error. Everyone has different conditions. If temps fluctuate or your DO (dissolved oxygen) are not right, your res can go sideways quickly. I see people suggest Hydroguard, which is only ONE beneficial bacteria. Then others suggest Southern Ag, which is the same active ingredient as Hydroguard but just a million times stronger. The problem is that you need more than just this one bacteria for everything to work. Root Guard is a formula that has everything at an affordable price. By all means, if anyone has something that works for them, I am not telling you to stop doing what works for you. However, Root Guard includes multiple beneficial bacterias as well as root stimulators and more to keep your res 100% under all conditions. Personally, we have always used this for large scale operations and have since decided to release it to the public for small scale operations as we have watched so many people struggling with problems from root rot and trying one thing after another with no luck. A beneficial bacteria needs to be introduced into the res before you have a problem, not after. Not that it will not work after a problem occurs, but for optimal results it is suggested to use it from the start during every water change. A Sterile res is like playing Russian roulette, sometimes you get lucky but sometimes you don't and it is never fun to get to that point of just starting over.
