I wondered about that. More heaters, more indoor CO2? would the seasonal CO2 trend match the dino thread activity better?Maybe people are turning on Those house heaters lol !
yep, the bacteria angle has been interesting from the beginning, hard to observe what's happening so it's been difficult to tease out causality from reports. Despite that, I think probably we've seen enough to say that some bacterial sources can be helpful and ought to be a part of a treatment. Unfortunately we also know some sources of bacterial growth (carbon dosing) keep dinos quite happy.I don’t know if anyone read my last post on different Dr Tims bacteria to improve biodiversity and competition for ostreopsis...
But between that and the UV... worked wonders. Highly recommmend doing some reading on the role of bacteria and not just nutrients
For sandbed dinos, I feel like the bacteria interactions are even more important than for the stringy water column types.
I think maybe what we need to see is more comparisons of different bacteria sources and their effects vs dino blooms.
And I don't even know with any specificity what is supposed to be different about mechanisms between bacteria that help vs those that hurt a dino bloom.
