Hiya people...

What are peoples thoughts here...????

That's really interesting Niko ... any idea where the tests were done? I would imagine the params taken at different places would differ a fair bit ... also, at what depths/how far out form the coasts were these tests done? I'd be curious to see how the water params checked out at say the Great Barrier Reef, compared with parts of the ocean that have completely different types of marine life.

Most of the levels of the critical elements shown in the table, like NaCl, Ca, Mg are pretty much what we as reefers try to maintain ... so I guess we're on the right track?

Cheers!

The tests were all done in water off the Carribean at 50 foot depth...

I suppose its like we always say....Try to make the tank as much the as the same as the Reefs themselves...
