Tom Barr said:So post no CMS dosing, I had some minor algae pop up in the 120, a little BGA, a bit more glass algae, soft greens............nothing major.
This is likely more due to the general reduction in growth perhaps....than adding or deleting CMS. Some slight changes etc can cause this increase.
In the 70 Buce tank, I got more glass GSA but a softer type.
I wiped this off and things should be fine hereafter.
180 gallon got a little GDA, tossed in 4 Bristle nose plecos. They will make quick work of it.
The Red Ludwigia has recovered well after I resumed dosing, I trimmed it today and this post trim (a few minutes afterwards).
Frankly claiming it is Micro Tox for curled leaves, algae issues or a more specific trace metal is unfounded.
This was a simple try and it and see and little else is required to show falsification of this claim.
Tom, how long did your plant take to get better when you resumed CSM dosing? Key question...
