it should really say," a by-product of cactus can be used to purify......"
I don't think growing them in the recirculating system will do much
an organic filtering aide IS an improvement
most "flocc" producing products in water treatment are aluminum based

I wonder how this compares to using ground up Moringa seeds?

My opinions are barely worth the paper they are written on here, but hopefully they can spark some new ideas, or at least a different train of thought

My previous laptop never exploded like that. Read this tiny ad while I sweep up the shards.
