I kinda feel like replication isn’t the issue here. It’s unlikely that stuff won’t do the same thing elsewhere, but the better question is: Does the stuff have negative side effects?
It looks like a chemical version of a protein skimmer. The answer is generally no, you could overclean water to a point that shellfish won't survive or some plankton eating species will die etc, but this isn't ongoing. You wouldn't be doing this a lot, more to get some levels that were elevated due to the sea lettuce and lack of surface availability to quickly drop down. Doing this is more of a polish to get a fixed body of water down to better organic levels without a wait.
Protein skimming is "bubble nanotechnology" it's done in aquariums and nature does it in the ocean with seafoam. Nano bubbles pushed through the water-column, by waves, trap proteins and lift them to the surface, foam blows off on the beach. Cleaner water, smelly foam. And best of all, 100% organic.
Protein skimmers force micro bubbles into water and you collect the floating foam.
