No one has mentions dinos yet. If I remember correctly dino's are toxic to snails and a whole host of other things when eaten.
Grandis: are you sure your diatom outbreak wasn't a dino outbreak?
Hello rbp 4 135:
Very well!! Yes, how could we forget about that?
The reason I think that was diatoms is because diatoms are known to be a problem when excess silicates are present and that "filtered water" probably had lots of silicates from the resin used (?).
There was no way to do a microscopic examination at the time and therefore I couldn't identify that with a 100% accuracy.
Yes, I could be wrong! :fun5:
I know that dinos are bad and nasty guys and would kill even some herbivore fishes if ingested.
Thanks so much for the heads up and additions to the thread!
