That’s just fancy shit. Studies on natural reefs show lower net nitrate values and higher ammonia than we keep in our closed systems. The nutrient discussion has been focused on the end values (no3 and po4) whereas in nature, corals actually assimilate the building blocks more efficiently and...
At some point you want to reduce nitrate all together- the challenge with synthesis is you can’t. I’ve heard of burns if no3 climbs above 10…. I mix 20g ammonium and 5g urea per liter. Dosing 20mLs per day and no3 @ 3-5. Most coral respond well to pre-nitrate metabolites, especially low ammonia...
I have a couple of unused bags to give away. I could pass them to Michael potentially this weekend or if you want to send me a shipping label, I’ll throw in a box for you
NP. Ideally leave AC by 12:30 at the latest to be able to acclimate and then change and go.
If anyone can meet, I can pass the items and you all can sync up when you’re free, since you’re all relatively close to each other
