Which type of phytoplankton is used? Is Nannochloris ok?

Quale tipo di fitoplancton è usato? È Nannochloris giusto?

the most used are NANNOCLOROPSIS for live phyto.
Recently they are organized also for other types of microalgae but very difficult to cultivate

Your tanks are gorgious. How do you get such polyp extension. Also, do you have a redbug problem there as we have here?????Any pests and how do you deal with them there?

Fortunately the redbug we do not have them still! ...... but we often have problems with the flatworm(Turbellarie)

Si, Ed il grotech...
ma molto magnesio viene rilasciato dalla Jumbo che si trova nel reattore di calcio. Con il ph basso del reattore una parte del magnesio contenuto nella sabbia corallina( jumbo) viene rilasciato in vasca, e quindi in molti casi non è necessario integrarlo.

Yes Grotech...
but much magnesium is come yielded by Jumbo sand size and therefore, in many cases it is useless to integrate Mg in big quantity

I was just wondering, do these methods enchance coral pigments, or it is only increased growth rates?

I dont know if you missed it.. but like Ocean Drive said.. they use a product called Xaqua that is like ZEOvit. Geronte uses ZEOspur every month to lighten corals.

Some of the tanks dont use any of this and they can still keep nice colors by having stable parameters with low PO4/Nitrates.

Some aquaristic has used bulbs at 6.500°K for the high levels of the PAR, but sincerely I do not like the water color, yellow!! In this condition, with 6.500°K, the increase rate is greater but the colors of SPS, turns toward the brown. After one period of a good increase, someone chages again the bulbs with high color temperature

That definitely works. There was one person from signapore who was TOTM here who used 6500k with actinics and it looks great! Last I heard his tank was no more or is starting over.

Does anyone have any info or links on Xaqua?
I've looked at their site but all it shows is a list of their products.

Ocean drive, does Xaqua have issues with Potassium depletion? Supposedly ZEOvit does from other people's experience especially since the rock pores are known for this type of chemical exchange with K.
