    Tofu's 4ft Reef tank

    in Members Tank & Specs

    Posted

    YT, I learn abt this low po4 bleach thing from mike pallette video (its one of the video posted lately in my thread). He mentioned po4 is the energy building blocks for corals. If po4 is too low(<0.01) or zero, growth will slow down and eventually starts to bleach. Which kind of make perfect sense to me as I also notice the sps seems happier with a little po4 then no po4. The colours are deeper too.

    Ps: tofu, sorry for invading your thread :)

    Cheers,

    Which brand of salt you all use most???

    Just did Triton lab test for SPS frag tank running on this salt.

    Heavy metals with 0 microgram/L reading: Mercury, Selenium, Cadmium, Arsenic, Copper, Antimony, Titanium.

    Heavy metals detected: Lead (0.00101 ppm), Aluminium (0.089ppm), Tin (0.00307ppm). While these are detected, the values are still much lower than most average aquaria.

    *Test has not been conducted with freshly mixed salt so cannot rule out contamination of the above metals from other sources (magnets, pumps, thermostat probe, etc).

    The above-mentioned values are as important in salt as basic values, these will accumulate over time if regular water changes are not made. This purity is often reflected in the retail price of the salt, it takes a lot of QC to make sure there is negligible amounts of heavy metals. :)

    I don't have the means to run a water test on it but I know this fm salt rocks from the observations of my corals especially LPS....for my sps, I don't even need to use colour elements.

    JK: Do I get a discount on my next bucket of fm salt for good publicity? hee!

    Cheers,

    James
