This response from Tom is exactly what I was looking for when I made my
original post on the worry about "Amquel" o/e starving the plants. My
plants are often on the ragged edge for a variety of reasons. I'm
certainly not the aquatic green-thumber that Tom is. [I also might have
starved them from low micronutrients for I was probably also using
"Novaqua" during much of the observation period, and adding no
supplements.]
I'm relieved that my tentative observation was groundless, for "Amquel"
is the for-sure safe thing for fish in these days of increasing
chloramine. Thanks much, Tom, for relieving us.

Stop passing new laws!
Repeal some dysfunctional ones. It will do far more good.
