    HEEDTA micro on ebay

    Hi James. A reply in no time. as I've expected :D That's the stuff I was using a year ago and was very happy with it, but then I ran out and had to switch to the trace mix from AE. I remember you mentioning the Zn:B ration before, but did not find any details. Could you tell a bit more about...
