70. I've read that article and it's full of holes

They claim that the fouling they encountered wasn't due to organic material - it was all iron precipitates they removed ultrasonically.

You can't remove organic biofilms this way - and you certainly can't with dilute acid or base...

and there's no such thing as inorganic "gelatinous iron oxides"

Some of us understand marine chemistry and biology and know bullshit when they see it...

Let them publish this nonsense in Marine Chemistry, otherwise....
