wow this is awesome prow. I have to bothpat myself on the back and cringe at the stuff I've done. Most test kits I come across don't differentiate between NO1, 2, 3... etc. and I wouldn't have known what pertained to what anyway. I did "get" some things early on from reading stuff that you clarified here, that I wouldn't have been able to say, well, this is why... like using base rock and putting in just some GOOD LR (other than NO HH!!) But I would not have really ever gotten the aerobic/anaerobic stuff.

I cannot read all this now as it's 2 a.m. and the brain is pretty much mush. And dear god, you put in flow charts. This is an after coffee read.

Thanks for spending so much time on this!!
