It didn't deal with MAC. Only 7% saline has the potential to keep MAC under control because MAC can grow in lesser salinities.

I agree 100%. Thanks for explaining it so well. Although, I am surprised that Thumper has gone back to .9% because he had such a difference in the amount he brought up when using 7%.
