Today I saw a thread on R2R where the op who happened to run zeovit (zeovit system is bacterial based system where you keep adding bacteria and food) making the case that sps coral need bacteria because it eats bacteria, the thread from there spiraled in to,
-we need diverse bacteria so coral eat it,
- sps feed on bacteria
- you have to add and dos bacteria..
- somoem posted this video as evidence coral eat bacteria
.
It wasbit strange to me. I also run zeovit but I really think the OP is confusing the role of nitrafying bacteria in our system with coral nutrients requirments.
Anyone share this sentiment that coral eats bacteria? I think this is wrong statment and no scientific evidence I have seen in the past that suggest coral actually eat bacteria that's why we need it.
Also on the YouTube video(min 18) the guy kinda make similar suggestion and his evidence that coral entrust on live rocks not on dry rocks because live rocks have funa bacteria..
I disagree and my counter argument is how quickly frags encrusted on plugs that have zero live organisms on it before we glue coral to the base. I also start every single system with 80 to 90% dry rocks and once system established withen a month or so, coral encrusted on all rocks alike...
Anyone have heared of such concept or have more insights on such claim?
The sad thing on that thread, people are going to try zeovit just because the op is on zeovit without really understanding it well which is guarantee to crash an established system. Zeovit is program that needs attention to details and correct understanding of the diffrent products on it otherwise, zeovit forum filled with ppl who crashed their systems just because they saw a nice tank with zeovit and jumped on the program without learning it...
