algae affected by temp?
Quick "corrections"...
1) I tried to keep Algae as plant, and BGA as "plant" separate. They are different, BGA is a bacteria and not a true plant. Unfortunately, in the mix-ed metaphor, where you can treat BGA as if it were a plant, it isn't always clear I was aware of the difference. I am. Thanks Sandy. 2) On the issue of "something runs out". Well, predation and dis-infection would qualify as growth enabling defined as a "lack" thereof. I'm sure BGA is happiest and most prolific when any of its biologic predators, go lacking. Biocidal chemicals, such as Chlorine, would also serve the role of biologic predation. 2a) To the point of BGA, and "lacking" of a item enabling growth... BGA is a bane to salt/reef tanks, too. There, high-redox is associated with BGA limitation. Thus, in some circles, a "lacking" of redox potential may be considered enabling. Or, redox may just be an early symptom of the onset of useful concentrations of some nutrient, perhaps DOC. Even so, even on the reef side, severe limitation of P is considered the definitive means of control for, um, cellular plagues. *************************************** Bill Kirkpatrick wrote: wrote: Eh? Life is a constructive process. It frankly doesn't care if, or when, "something runs out" if it has no biological use for that particular "something". Thus, BGA, or anything else, simply cannot grow for LACK of a required component. |
