Steve,

Fauna Marin isn't equivalent to GHL Profilux - they just happen to be distributed by the same North American distributor (Aqua Digital). So you can criticize Fauna all you want without...

I don't think any of the T5 advocates get on a "high horse" - we simply defend against unsubstantiated claims and general ignorance. You rarely see a T5 advocate claiming that T5 is better than MH....

Wet skimming is also employed by those of us who dose two-part or use a balling method (or balling light) because it helps diminish the effect of the dosed chemicals causing the salinity to rise.
