People tell you all sorts of mishmash anyway

Ignorance about a product line really brings it out
I ask them a simple question: have you actually tried it and had success?
If not, why not?
I never get a full honest answer.............curiously........
I do get answers like "Well, I do not care about any of that, all I know is that it works for me and ADA's results are good........."
That does not answer the question and suggest you must buy and purchase and accept all that ADA tells you, there's no learning there, there's no understanding as to why or is it really bad, or is it better?
They really do not know yet suggest fear as a reason rather than testing to see if the speculation is correct or not.
It's a Male bovine manure excuse.
Really, it is.
You can likely dose less, or none at all after some time to the water column, however, doing so does no harm which is the claim from the ADA side.
Plants can get all of their nutrients from the water column or the sediment..........
but a better idea is have them in both location, you get more out each location this way and if you mess up dosing the water column, at least you have a back up.
ADA adds traces and K+ etc to the water column, why are these so different vs N and P?
