NOOOO, Z, I didn't mean YOU said that about the hydra and bbrine
shrimp...............but many people do think that and this theory has been
around for many, many, many years!  Nor do I take credit for the discovering
the Fluke Tabs for elimination.  I heard it from someone on the apisto list
maybe 5-6 years ago.......I thought they were nuts and I tried everything
except the tabs.........boy was I dumb...........as a last resort I tried
them........super!!!!!!!  I've tried adding salt, some chemical that killed
a bunch of Huser aggie fry, the battery thing.....a zillion things I've
tried but for the moment the Fluke Tabs do best for me in my
water........................someone mentioned something else a day or so
ago I forget what they said.........sounded good though!

...................here they come folks....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
