The diagram is quite complex, since you have put the problems and solutions
in the same diagram.
These can be separated to help focus on the solutions.

numbers in all natural waterways.

Since 2005 we have been regularly dosing Iron adsorbed onto Nano Silica in
aquariums, ponds and lakes, to grow Diatom Algae and thus prevent other
phytoplankton and weeds from growing.

Dear All
Olivine is a silicate and thus increases the silica in the water.
It also contains small amounts of iron, so iron to will become available.
So diatoms will grow when Olivine weathering is used to capture CO2.
Diatoms too will capture a lot of CO2.
Silica to Nitrogen ratio is very import

Diatoms consuming C, N, P, Si and Fe and sinking to the ocean bed is a
solution not a problem.
The fact that Fe depletes is a problem and this is precisely the reason why
Iron Fertilization is being suggested.
C, N, P are being fed to oceans due to human action.

your simulation is based on a global ocean carbon cycle model.

The report mentions Phytoplankton 22 times and cyanobacteria 15 times.
Diatoms are not mentioned even once.
Diatoms are responsible for about 40 to 50% of primary production in
oceans.
No one appears to have even attempted to quantify Cyanobacteria's share.

My support for Ocean Fertilization is to secure maximum benefit with
minimum intervention.
That is why we are opposing 'harvesting' of Diatoms.
The diatoms that grow should either be consumed by fish or fall to ocean
bed.

Historical oxygen levels are a question of fact.
No logic is involved.

You are right to a certain extent when you say -

I am referring to all three -
Diatomaceous Earth and live diatoms as a SRM solution.
Nano silica with micro nutrients to keep the live diatoms alive and cause
further bloom after they fall into the oceans.
DE is NOT in nano size. Is is in microns.

Hi John
Thanks, but the paper is about DMS.
DMS is produced by algae growing in oceans.
Bioprecipitation (biological rain) is due to bacteria (and algae and fungi)
in the atmosphere.

Diatoms increase the dissolved oxygen level within minutes.
Thus anaerobic conditions are converted into aerobic conditions.
In raw sewage that emits Hydrogen Sulphide due to anaerobic bacteria, use of
Nualgi stops the generation of H2S within hours and thereafter aerobic
conditions prev
