Agreed! There are so many questions. But the microbes play an important role. I also wonder how carbon dosing may have an impact.
the coll thing is, I don't believe we really know yet...to what strains are most abundant?
same. esp with vinegar. the organic carbons in ethanol are different I believe.I also wonder how carbon dosing may have an impact.
Ah HA! Moment....Carbon dosing as fueling microbes for coral "food"
We should ask. If I get a microscope, itll prob never leave the house. I have 5 different lenses and couples for the tank already.We should get jason2459 to put some of this stuff to the test
It is interesting. Back in the day, they always said use real live rock from the ocean, for a number of reasons, including but mostly bacteria. If you read up on GARF, and GRUNGE, they cultivated sediments from tanks and the ocean across the country. Most folks scoff(and use hand sanitizer), but it is and was a scientific standard. And, just saying, a GARF Bonsai is a LEGENDARY coral.So if we start with cured dry rock, and artificial salt mix, do we import starter cultures of the bacterial food when we rehydrate the salt? Are they selective in the strains they harbour in thier slime coat, but "eat" any bacteria that comes along for food?
I was reading another article last night about specific bateria being bundled with the coral spawn. Those that had certain bacteria attached had double the surival of those that didn't.
Very curious research
