One thing of note is that is that, according to Royce, who was at the brew =
off, the Steven Storch airlift machine completely blew away every other mac=
hine in the competition with protozoa content, all that really counts in AC=
T for nutrient cycling (with bacteria of course).

I was not really into watching all 9 videos. Temperature is not new and is =
covered in my information. Where are the microbial photos videos of the sem=
inar?

I'm sorry but I miss the LeRoy connection. Maybe I had to watch all 9.

I don't get the Leon thing either. I speak with him quite regularly. What i=
s it you are saying he said?

Ionic nutrients?
