question for the microbiologist

just curious as to the size range and species of microfauna commonly removed by foam fractionation devices. I am aware of the laundry list of elements fractionation devices are capable of removing but I have yet to find a truly comprehensive list of microfauna/bacterias/small fungal colonies/flocculents etcetera, that are removed by them. I was wondering if you could enlighten me at all. I would assume this question may be right up your alley (please correct me If I am wrong)

It seems you know the answer to the question already. We employ no microbiologist here at MR, however one or two of our members might work in that field. Members check in from time to time, once in a while or every day. Give it time someone may answer you in the near future.

Another route you may try is PMing 'mesocosm' over at zeo

oh in the description of this forum it says "Discuss the chemical and biological side of reefing with our own microbiologist Dr. Shaun Walters."

so there is no Dr. shaun walters?

thats what I figured, But I thought maybe one of you guys could say "well he usually come on on fridays for an hour or two" or something like that.. like I said I'm not really in a rush. I just thought this topic is a good one to discuss with some one who makes their living with microbes.
