Sounds like the weirdest thing ever, so I had to post the link. If I'm not posting this in the right spot, I apologize in advance.

jadakiss: Do you use special blend in place of MB7 and do you dose vodka? I used MB7 before I started to dose and to me it appeared that diatoms surfaced as a result of dosing MB7.

I dose vodka and vitamin C along with Microbacter 7. After 2 weeks, I started getting some white film algae type thing so I cut my dosage in half and it went away after a few days. Otherwise, everything is doing great and I believe my zoa's are responding really well to the Vitamin C.
