I wanted to remove silicate from Instant Ocean because diatoms sometimes dominated early stages of my algae cultures, obscuring other micro algae growth. I stirred Instant Ocean with with GFO for 24 hrs. i removed the GFO and dosed nitrate and phosphate. Compared to Instant Ocean with the same amount of dosed nitrate and phosphate, early growth was meager and dominated by diatoms. Later growth continued to be weaker than with Instant Ocean and dominated by diatoms and dinoflagellates.What company did that ICP?
How are you purifying top off water?
Thoughts on what was depleted by GFO?
