    Peter, I called the folks at Sparex to ask about the brown scum. 
    (Vinnie  AT  Habson's gave me the #.)  Their guy told me that this was
    perfectly normal and that the "amber" color was simply part of the
    product.  He wouldn't be pinned down on the "amber scum" though... 
    Sparex is at least 50% cheaper than other brands, not including pH
    adjuster, but it doesn't seem worth it. 

    Time to switch pickles.  Don, does your pickle depletion guild
    nicely?

    Peter: by the way, copper sulphate is the panacea for most salt
    water tropical fish maladies such as ich or oodinium, but is deadly
    to invertebrates such as crabs, shrimp, etc. That's why copper based
    paints were applied to ship hulls: kills barnacles and ship worms.
