    Don't you just love the way they never say metals but use the term "minerals"? It's just so granola-crunchy and wholesoe sounding, isn't it?

    Yeah, you caught that one If they suggest a "sequester" they obviously should have said "metals" instead. This is the second recent post, to the best of my knowledge, where people report non-algae related water coloration. I wonder who normally offers water analysis for dissolved metals?

    Thanks for the info.

    So, at this point, the consensus is to try another metal sequester. I had added Rust/Scale sequester earlier which I thought caused the color problem. But from the article posted, it does seem that multiple bottles may be necessary.

    Any recommendations on metal sequester?
