Do we have a biology geek in the group? What are the mechanics of this type of introduction of biologically unwanted product? (was that polite enough?) I assume that natural processes will eventually correct the problem but would really like to understand exactly what happens when it goes as expected?

Algae bloom?
Ecoli has a lifespan without food?
Oxygen levels get screwy?

Thanks in advance
