Excellent reading material, thank you very much.
Please excuse my Newbie-ness but I do however have a question:
Under the alkalinity section there is mention that 7-8 DKH should be maintained in the case of a ULNS and 7-11 is acceptable otherwise. What would define a ULNS? I have done some reading and the definition tends to vary a bit. Would you be able to clarify a bit please?
Thank you for this fantastic article.
Some questions came to my mind.
1.Youve mentioned that phyto planktons growth depends on phosphate.
Im trying to culture my own but i couldnt.
My phosphate is 0 and i wanted to know is this the problem that they do not grow or not?
2.Whats the effect of phosphate 0 on my corals?
If i have to increase it what should i do?
I will be very thankful if you help me.
The only available test kit in my country is Sera .When i test my p the color of the test wont change at all and it remains colorless.The issue of 0 ppm phosphate depends on whether that, with your testing, means less than 0.1 ppm, less than 0.02 ppm, less than 0.01 ppm, etc. How are you testing it and what is the lowest you could detect?

One time i gave the water to one of my friends and he tested it with Elos he told me the same
No im doing that in a bottle but i used one of the bottles with my tank water and the ther with RO+salt mix water.
But in both of them they didnt grow.
The last question is that what things should i do to increase nitrate and phosphate.You certainly could add both nitrate and phosphate, and maybe some trace elements such as iron.
