Ooooooooo, Dave, I would be careful on this one. Does algae really die when dried? Or, like a virus or bacterium, can it go dormant under adverse conditions and then come back to haunt your tank on a later date? Perhaps, the drying temperatures are adverse enough to kill the algae? Dunno......but, an interesting concept. -----Original Message----- From: Sanford, Dave LHS-STAFF [mailto:Sanfordd@issaquah.wednet.edu] Sent: Friday, March 18, 2005 2:56 PM To: 'Greater Seattle Aquarium Society member chat' Subject: RE: [GSAS-Member] Can algae tablets (fish food) cause algae? I have never had an algae problem related to feeding the algae wafers for pleco's and other bottom feeders. I think that by the time its been dried, processes, stored, it must be dead! dave _______________________________________________ GSAS-Member mailing list GSAS-Member@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/gsas-member _______________________________________________ GSAS-Member mailing list GSAS-Member@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/gsas-member
