Post by Davej »

Any chance when you get the time you could run through the potential uses / doses for MB Duncan.

Worked a treat as a fungicide for eggs last year... :D

MB Used to be very popular treatment for tropical fish, am I right in thinking that it really knocks the filtration back. Would you use it as a pond treatment?

are you sure it was MB and not copper?

ive not noticed any set back in filtration although undoubtedly there would be a little it just depends if it measurable or not
