| I knew of a fellow club member who had tried using the Lymnozine(sp) several years ago. He went so far as to send before and after samples of his water to a lab to verify the aeromonas/Psuedomonas counts. Before, there was a count level of between 300-350 and after the count was reduced to 25-50. He was very excited about this fact that the product did what it claimed. About a month after he began using the product, I paid him a visit. He has a beautiful pond and his filter system is double what he needs. There are close to 60 air stones in his cartridged Japanese mat bio filter alone. Very low stocking density and some very nice fish. As we were standing pondside, I happened to be looking at a Doistu Sanke. Low and behold, what do I see? An ulcer on the side near the underside of this fish. As he is an older gentleman, I figured his sight wasn't as clear as mine and I don't see how he could have missed it. The long and the short of this story is, the product DOES reduce the Aeromonas/Psuedomonas counts in the pond, but did it protect the fish - NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting observation about using (I assume microbelift) and the results about the algae. When I had used it before, I never had that happen, or maybe, now that I'm older I can't see as well as I did when I spotted the guys ulcerated koi - LOL!!
