Hey guys! Thanks for your responses! If nothing else we certainly see that it's not a cut and dried issue.
Mike and Jeff: Around here Microblift and ABA along with Lymno seem to be the rage. No definitive results but "You just GOT to try.....!" Wonder if it has to do with the fact a couple of dealers around here have a bunch of the stuff!?? :roll: :roll:
I can attest to the fact that if it doesn't work for the fish/ponds it can make your next door neighbor's (the one you've been feuding with) family barbecue quite unpleasant! :twisted: :twisted:
OR...Cocker Spaniels love it!
(Momma wouldn't let 'em in the house for days! :smt036 :smt036 :smt036)
Dick: Your point about the 6 week start up time for "bottled bugs" vs. natural process is a great one! Like you it seems, I've always divied up full functioning media to start/restart any of my outside ponds that have new filters or just need a "kick start".
Didn't Roark and a couple of the boys do some tests on a few of the "best of's" a while back and found them to be a great way to watch your good money go down a bad drain!?
I'm still curious tho. If I can find the magic "potion" I've got a lot of led around her that would be nice to have turn into gold. hmmm :roll: :roll:
