Hats off to you for being the pioneer on this Kevin. It's things like this that keep pushing this hobby forward. The way I figure, rice can't be that bad, we're growing coral with driveway ice melter and baking soda, and knocking out excess nutrients with vodka, sugar, and vinegar. Seems like the sky is the limit, all it takes is someone with the balls to give it a shot. Keep it up buddy!
