Thoughts on dosing MicroBacter or other...

[Reef Box]

I've been Battling back and forth with Spirulina forming thick mats on my rocks and sand bed regularly days after manual removal and W/C for the last 6 or so months. After research and reading, I found a thread where the Author was directed at Twillards advice to double dose chemi-clean to eradicate it. The author went on to document his battle back and forth until finally defeating it with the help of adding MicroBacter 7 in addition to W/C and follow-up doses of the Chemi-clean.

So my question is this, could I dilute the MicroBacter with RODI water and use a doser to dose small amounts throughout the day or would a small dose (approx 1/7th of a weekly dose) at full strength once a day in the morning work better?

AAAAAAND GO!

I personally see no reason to spread out the addition of bacteria to multiple times a day. I'm not sure it will be helpful to deal with cyanobacteria, but if it is, once a day should be fine.

Thanks Randy. I don't know that it would actually help either but I figured it couldn't hurt.
