The statement that corals sliming is good is one of the "big," questions posed, but not answered. There seems to be an assumption that it's positive. Smarter people than me think perhaps it stresses corals and is a natural protective barrier. There are several people who have been bubbling for some period of time now without reported ill effects, but this doesn't mean any positive benefit is occurring. I want to believe there may be benefit but honestly it just seems counter intuitive! My brain cannot make since that bubbling brings in nutrition, O2, or gets rid of toxin
Thanks for the reply! Is it just these threads that the claim of coral "sliming" is a benefit? I can't seem to find conversations elsewhere this being discussed as a good or bad thing. I've found a few articles relating the qty slime per m^3 reef in various oceans, slime makeup analysis, etc....but no-where outside of these threads can I find previous mention of this actually being good.
Cheers!
