Apologies Chad, as it was not my intent to mislead or insult anyone. I use the product myself as do many others, and its something I have used for some time now and one of the reasons I use it is when I want to raise Nitrate or phosphate as an intended purpose and as gently as I can without the foreign other methods I see people using. My comment wasn't at all to be a Dry underhanded comment toward you in any way shape or form. And Im sorry if you took it that way. Its just always been my go to and because its natural I am both confident in what I am using for, and comfortable because I know its pure coming from you. So once again, I apologize if you took what I said as a form or insult or a direct besmyrchment , as it was not my intent, I am just speaking from my own experience on what I use the product for.
