Whats up with new members "subscribing"?

[stewy14]

ik, but where, im looking and dont see anywhere

 

[revhtree]

go check out the chemistry forum here and see the AI prompts answers..... def not right and could cause serious harm to your tank and its inhabitants

What are you talking about? Links please.

THANK U

Im not gonna go and search through the whole chem forum for you. you can do that yourself.

RANDY did a whole mini series a few months back where he put a prompt into AI about reef chemistry and critiqued the results....

ChatGPT and Reef Chemistry: We Try it Out!

Why didn't I think of this sooner. No need to have a real person helping out. lol Here are a few examples that I asked it today, in order of increasing difficulty (IMO): 1. Describe the importance of alkalinity and calcium in a coral reef aquarium. ChatGPT reply: Alkalinity and calcium are...

it gets some things right, but some things are terribly wrong. and because of that i dont trust it and would rather do my own reaserach but to each their own.

wanna know why ai was wrong? cuz as I explained, it learns from other people, this hobby is about you, your own desired levels, not set levels, so people then wouldn't search that up on chatgpt, they would on google or on here, that was also a year ago, and gpt4 just came out, so before critiquing ai again, go on gpt4

care to possibly respond about this actual thread tho? whats up with all the SPAM from new members? its allowed because its a sponsor contest?

Im not wrong, i just dont trust or like it.
You were wrong, saying that itrs always right , yet when i show you its wrong you move the goalpost and say oh thats old etc etc

me: desired chem levels for acropora in saltwater tank


ai: Maintaining appropriate water chemistry is crucial for the health and growth of Acropora corals in a saltwater (reef) aquarium. These corals are typically found in the wild in nutrient-poor, tropical oceans and can be quite sensitive to variations in water parameters. Here are the general guidelines for the desired chemical levels for Acropora corals:

1. **Salinity**: 1.025 - 1.026 specific gravity (sg) or 35 parts per thousand (ppt).

2. **Temperature**: 76°F - 82°F (24°C - 28°C). Consistency is key; avoid fluctuations.

3. **pH**: 8.1 - 8.4. Stable pH is crucial; fluctuations can be very harmful.

4. **Alkalinity**: 8 - 12 dKH (degrees of carbonate hardness). It helps stabilize pH and is vital for coral growth.

5. **Calcium**: 380 - 450 ppm (parts per million). Calcium is essential for the skeletal growth of corals.

6. **Magnesium**: 1250 - 1350 ppm. Magnesium helps in maintaining the right balance of calcium and alkalinity.

7. **Nitrates (NO3)**: Below 5 ppm. Elevated nitrate levels can inhibit coral growth and coloration.

8. **Phosphates (PO4)**: 0.01 - 0.03 ppm. High phosphate levels can cause algae problems and affect coral health.

9. **Strontium**: 8 - 10 ppm. It is believed to benefit coral coloration and growth.

10. **Iodine**: 0.06 - 0.10 ppm. Iodine is important for coral and invertebrate health but should be dosed carefully.

11. **Trace Elements**: Adequate levels of other trace elements such as iron, manganese, zinc, etc., are also important, though these are usually provided in very small quantities by regular water changes or specialized dosing products.

It's important to note that these are general guidelines and the ideal levels may vary slightly depending on the specific conditions and species of corals in your tank. Regular water testing is critical to maintain these parameters within the desired range.

Additionally, other factors such as lighting, water flow, and overall tank stability are just as important for the health of Acropora corals. These corals thrive in high light and strong, intermittent water flow that mimics their natural reef habitat.

Lastly, gradual changes are more important than exact numbers. Sudden shifts in water parameters, even to correct values, can stress or even kill sensitive corals like Acropora. When making

The way you made it sound was that the chemistry forum was full of AI answers. I know about that thread from Randy, was very interesting.

As far as some new members creating “subscribing” threads goes, there are some that are confused. They are not purposely spamming the forum. You can report the ones you see and we’ll move them to the proper thread.

Thank you.

Oops, meant to answer, not welcome. .. There was just RAP which I saw Many scan a barcode and there are 3-4 active giveaways which are bringing new members and moving forward, there will be 3 more events bringing yet more new members and some are from spam
