Phal problem. Help!
Well I'm curious what the "cocktail" you used was. If you don't want to
reply to the NG, just reply directly to me... "Pat Brennan" wrote in message ... Ray, I am in agreement with Aaron, I think Steve has a microfungus. I was guessing that before I even saw the pictures. I have had microfungus on phals, I have cured it. But the only way I have successfully cured microfungus is using a cocktail of chemicals. Two months ago when I mentioned a cocktail Aaron replied with a post about not mixing chemicals under the risk of toxic precipitate and wrecked buffers. Not wanting to hear this crap again, I took my discussion with Steve out of the group. I just find it maddening that today Aaron is giving pointers to sites promoting chemical cocktails. Pretending that you know more then the chemical manufactures or the directions supplied with the chemicals does a disservice to this group. Is the label that comes with the chemical the "precise knowledge" we must know or is there more? If we follow the label are we still going to create toxic precipitate? If I am Steve, who or what do I believe? Chemical labels includes a section on compatibility and yes you better read them and follow the directions. Randomly mixing any chemicals is a dumb idea. But, when you take copper out of the mix, it seems that most of the chemicals I commonly use are compatible. I am not making that up, it is what the labels say, it is what experience has shown. Some of the more common cocktails are even marketed as a single product, Spectro and Banrot to name two. BTW, I highly recommend Spectro which is a cocktail of 3336 and Daconil as a broad spectrum fungicide. Sorry about the double post, I would blame my ISP but who would believe me.
