Makes sense. Thank you so much for that, I think that's exactly what I'm looking for. I was reading the link you provided and the added benefits sound very interesting.Yes I believe it is the same stuff.
Because it is made for large septic systems (not for small aquariums), I started out experimenting with just a Tbsp in a filter sock per month.
It doesn't really an overdose situation in that way, like with a med, that small amount just encourages a competitive form of bacteria to outcompetes the Cyano.
And its not something that out right kills the Cyano, such as an algaecide, because in that situation it just comes back due to the circumstances that allowed it to begin in the first place. its use continues to outcompete.
By using a competitive bacterial population, it not only eliminates Cyano, but that population of good bacteria continues to prevent it from coming back later.
Depending on how it goes, I might end up incorporating it as part of my maintenance (maybe once a year or so) to keep my filtration system clean and what not. The thought of that reducing build up in my filtration lines without having to do that manually sounds amazing!
