SRC Member Firestarter Posted May 5, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted May 5, 2014 Came across this thread in RC where this guy in Taiwan is dosing honey and milk to his tank and his SPS colours are popping!

SRC Member Firestarter Posted May 5, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 5, 2014 Quote from tank owner: Thanks for the reply my friends, I really add real milk and honey, and the NO3 & PO4 values are always around 20~50(before) & 0.05(usually) i add milk 10cc per day, I stop adding honey about 3 months, because I want to examine the effect of the milk the milk can help coral growth fast including sps and lps, The original purpose I add milk is increase the fatty acid for the tank to avoid sps skin peeling, compared to add the commercial products, is heterogeneous, often incongruous mixture of elements, i prefer to add milk, but i add milk after alga disappear, and sps become the major creature, or there will bring the disaster <--- not really sure what this sentence means By the way, the NO3 values is about 0.5~5 after start adding honey, if you want to know more information, please let me know, thks! So what do you guys think? He did not elaborate what type of milk he uses though. Any chemist here that can shed more light into this? Finally, anyone dare to be the first guinea pig?

Guest Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Is it a April fool day joke ? Just kidding.. Hope someone can test it out on a small scale and share some light in our local reefing scene.

SRC Member Firestarter Posted May 6, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 6, 2014 I think Hugo mentioned to start dosing milk only after clearing all algae issues. You are one brave reefer! Maybe you can start dosing small like 2ml daily for a week and see how it goes. Do remember to update!
