    My using phyto seems to coincide with cyano outbreaks....could the two be related?

    If extra, unused nutrients equals cyano and there is not much consuming the phyto youre dosing, then I would say it's a good possibility. Why are you dosing phyto?

    Which "pods" are you speaking of? Over the years of me using ATM's I found they produced a lot of amphipods but very little copepods.

    Yeah, I know what you mean. All I got from using ATM's was extra surcharges. ;)

    Do people usually laugh when they give you "direct orders" and put it in the form of a question?

    Just curious.... no skin off my back if you so choose to decline to answer.
