Re: Hard water

Hmm.  I've never tried that, but in planted aquarium circles phosphate
buffers are a bit of a no-no because in well lit tanks algal growth is
thought to be largely phosphate limited, so introducing it is a great way to
get green water (in fact that's what I do sometimes:  put Schultz's instant
fertilizer in water in the sun and wait for pea soup.)
