I have been using citic acid anhydrous in my PMDD in an attempt to provide 
a longer shelf life. I have not noticed any changes in growth patterns on 
my plants. There is, however, a percipitant that forms when I add the drops 
into the overflow of the tank. I believe that the acid reacts with the 
protein layer on the water surface and "denatures" the protein.

Yes, pleeeeease. How does he carpet his gravel with E. tennellus and 
Glostostigma, anyways?
