At least you did not cook the plants and had ick and then got algae like myself recently.

Careful when whining, it can always get much worse in this hobby


Something like KCL, or MgSO4 might cause issues directly on plants.
MgSO4 is a component of GH booster. I cannot deny that it did not burn the plants.

There is some chance.
Yeah, I'm pretty convinced it was the MgSO4 then. I'm using Epsom salts from the grocer and the granules are large. There are a couple of melted Sag subulatas next to it that got cooked too and everything else everywhere else in the tank looks fine and the spots that aren't "burnt" are still fine.

This isn't the hydropiper, it's gussonei, making Murphy that much more of a jerk. Okay, that's the last whine.
