Is the New "Probiotic Concoction" Coral Food Safe To Use? | #99 

Unfortunately, we shot session 100 in Denver and Mark wasn't able to make it this year. I think you'll enjoy who we have on though! ~Remy

Right, healthy fish should have a healthy gut microbiome. Their excrement is then degraded by these bacteria, and those bacteria then serve to release more nutrients into the water column where the corals can then absorb the nutrients or potentially eat the bacteria or particulates from fish waste

LOL!!! I leaked that he's a huge reefer! ~Remy

😂 same

Halides are still king LOL

Maybbeeeeeeee lol ~Remy

These sessions are good for the soul! ~Remy

@@ReefTherapy I'm 100% interested in the not melting tricks.... there are a few varieties that no matter what I do, eventually they melt, or the same one will melt out of nowhere, and of course they're generally more expensive, lol

Correct - although I doubt lactobacillus would be surviving in these conditions as it prefers an acidic environment and the addition of calcium carbonate to the concoction would act as a buffer But many other strain will produce similar metabolites This strategy would likely lead to a significant decrease in nutrients in solution

Agreed, health vs weight is good discussion to dive into. From the studies I’ve reviewed the organisms displayed enhance immune response, increased growth rates, respiration, and increased red blood cell count among other notable improvements. While not directly applicable to corals, these health benefits noted in more complex organisms could potentially have other downstream positive effects on the corals. Population dynamics will shift over time in a closed environment, exploring these trends and dynamics will be important in the long run as trends begin to shift in the industry and new innovations are made.

I promised the RB community that we would continue to finesse and make each video and therapy we put out just a bit better. Constantly honing! Thank you for the kind words and positivity! ~Remy

That is Master Chief from the video game "Halo"

It's up! Reefbuilders.com - you'll see the "Reef Royale" on the home page.

The life support side of things? That would be a good idea! ~Remy

@@ReefTherapy absolutely! Other possibly topics being the rise of 3D printing in the hobby and how to get into it.. which lighting is more efficient, what materials to use and why etc… if the viewers agree it would be phenomenal!
