Hi Paul,
 
When I've read Karen's post  I remember I saw an article in the 
"Aquarium Heute" which is  magazine published by Aquadocumenta which 
is a part of Dupla organization. The article that talks about the 
above discussed aspect of aquarium water was written by Dr. Gerd 
Kassebeer. The title was An Analysis Course for Aqarists, subtiteled 
(VII. Trace elements in the Aquarium). I lack the chemical background
to explain the processes involved, but the above author speaks in " a 
matter of a fact" tone and if Dupla sells something they usually go 
through quite a bit of research first.

If you are interested I could photocopy the article in its entirety 
and perhaps fax it to you.
