Good point. Apparently he's got something going though for Tetra to drop some serious $ for Bio-Spira. I'm sure they've got plenty of money to throw into their own R&D. I know they've supposedly made advances in the shelf life of the product...but I'd assume if it was as simple as culturing the correct strains and applying their own advances...they wouldn't need to buy out the product (unless it was to limit competition I suppose).
*And yeah, I told you that thread was a fun read, lol. It has officially been locked and the last words on that particular thread have been stated. I'm sure there'll be another one tomorrow though
