I would avoid MSP (mild silver protein) for several reasons.

1. They can mold and grow other microorganisms
2. The effectiveness is much lower than EIS at any concentration (I
estimate it is about 1 to 5% as effective.
3. Due to the decrease in effectiveness it will typically be made 100
times as strong, give you a silver load 100 times as great.
4. It has been implicated in argyria
5. It is very expensive
