Not sure I agree with that statement. Muriatic acid in IME does effect pH quite a bit even in small amounts. It is a strong acid that should be used carefully and safely.

I recently had bubble algae come in on about half a dozen Nassarius snails I purchased from local fish store. It wasn't on them when I put them in the tank but about 3 months later I started noticing the algae on the snails.
