New products at Petsmart any good?

So I was getting some supplies at my local Petsmart and I often window shop the fish section for equipment that might be on sale and I noticed some new additions. I'm just curious if anyone has tried these things out and if they are any good or if they are gimmicky items designed to separate suckers from their money. LOL One is called "All-In-One Remedy" for bacterial, fungal and parasitic outbreaks from Marineland, another is beneficial "Aquarium Bacteria" from Marineland (i.e. "instant aquarium starter"), and the last is an Eheim "Quick Vac Pro" that cleans gravel and removes sludge without the need for hoses and buckets.

The "All-In-One Remedy" really is nothing new, basically the same as the Tetra Lifeguard. Likely because its all from United Pet Group it is just rebadged under Marineland for those who think Tetra is not that great.

Makes sense. I know they do that a lot in this hobby (and many others) to make a buck while the hobbyists think they are supporting their desired brand.

I try not to buy to much at petsmart as the last two times I bought fish there they threw in ICK for free.

Oh I won't touch their livestock. It's always so poorly taken care of that if it survives, it get a disease or comes with a parasite. But that is big businesses for you. Always out to make you need to come back and buy more stuff.

You're lucky. Wish I could say the same for any of the ones I've been to.
