I'm pretty sure that it breaks down in the water column being that there are bacteria all over the place, not to mention that most hormones aren't stable at temperature for very long. I've read that...

Yeah, I dunno if BSA is the best thing to add. I just figured that since LB broth has basically the perfect nutrient load to grow bacteria. However, you should probably make your own with tryptone...

yeah I gave up on the socks for the same reason, you really have to clean them every day to have a beneficial effect. I tend to only run them when I'm doing a "big clean" of the tank with a turkey...

yeah, Tanya is right, many other people have had problems since they have no clue what their nutrient levels are before they start feeding or overfeed.
