Dr.Brain Coral Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 You ate back anything you lost running 2 miles haha Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 I think I might give Mama Tailes cheesecake recipe a shot. TS has a birthday on Monday. He also really likes Tiramisu. There aren't too many commercial ones I like, far too much cream, not enough lady fingers with coffee. So if I were to make my own, what do they use for the coffee? Is it a liquor or ahould I just pour in sweetened espresso? 2 Quote Link to comment

I think I might give Mama Tailes cheesecake recipe a shot. I am going to one of these days also. Maybe for the family reunion tommorow. Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Which is the source of the widely held myth and that myth is the reason there was a scientific study done to evaluate the claims. If you'd like antedoal evidence instead of scientific, I run phosphoguard and have a leather and it is healthy and happy... I credit Phosguard with pushing me away from some of the reefing BS I was reading. I decided to use it regardless of what I was being warned about and it worked, and worked well. I have it in both tanks, including my 29 with plenty of leathers and softies with no adverse effects. I think Tibsy posted a link in his thread to the skeptical reef keeper blog. Great read. 2 Quote Link to comment
ZephNYC Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Julian Sprung. The reef aquarium: Science, art and technology. Volume 3. Aluminum based Phosphate adsorption media: " although these types of media are effective, it has been documented that they can cause problems with soft corals, particularly sarcophyton spp. Although the reason has never been identified, it is speculated that an increase in dissolved aluminum is the cause ( Holmes- Farley, 2003) The chemical media with the highest capacity for adsorbing phosphates are made from oxides and hydroxides of ferric iron. Once the phosphate is absorbed it is tightly bound to the surface and will not be released." Quote Link to comment

I had a leather, sarcophyton, in my 20 and then 46 for almost 6 months before giving it away. It never showed any adverse reaction to phosguard. So what, it's just an observation, but now Veng and I are two observations and all we need is some respected hobbiest to mention it an all the phosguard fears will be put to rest. 1 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 From Seachem (they make phosguard) Aluminum Oxide, Soluble Aluminum, and Coral Toxicity In recent years, there has been speculation that aluminum oxide based phosphate removers like PhosGuard™ release aluminum into the water and subsequently damage corals. The evidence to support this claim was largely anecdotal. So, through a series of controlled experiments in both freshwater and saltwater, we intended to address both the question of aluminum solubility and aluminum toxicity. The results of these experiments show that under reef conditions (pH near 8) there is no detectable soluble aluminum released from alumina. Under conditions of low pH and high dosage levels, soluble aluminum can be released from alumina; at three times the label dosage rate, we detected 0.2 mg/L aluminum at a pH of 5.3. Additionally, aluminum oxide is not easily absorbed into the cell to cause negative reactions. Even at three times the dose of PhosGuard™, soft-bodied corals such as Sarcophyton remain unaffected.

Veng Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I hope you shared the amount they're suppose to feed.... Here's a picture of the measuring spoon. 2 Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 LOL, there's a spoon in there? I haven't touched the packet yet. I did mix 1/2 teaspoon of this with 1/2 teaspoon of Reef Roids and made a ball of clay. Won't be doing that again. Quote Link to comment
