And how do you propose to quantify the level of radical formation unless
you add them directly? I can't see how you can draw any useful
conclusions without being able to quantify that which you are trying to
study.
I find it somewhat humorous that you lecture about how things as fluid
as light levels make it impossible to draw any useful conclusions about
it, but in the next post you claim that because algae continued to grow
in a tank that had an unquantified and unmeasured amount of oxygen
radicals you now have proof that oxygen radicals have no usefulness in
the aquarium for controlling algae.
