Topic for discussion on bioceramic decorations Suggestions and questions are welcome in this topic. And in this topic, there is an overview and reviews.

I liked the decorations on the aquarium wall, on magnets. But I read on the reef central that the magnets must be completely coated with rubber or resin to prevent their contact with water, oxidation, and the leaching of metals into the water.

The magnets in the pom-pom rotors are not coated with anything.

Julia

Because neutral ferrite is used in the rotors. And in the pump mounts for the flow to the glass, neodymium magnets are used. Neodymium magnets are prone to corrosion, so they are often coated with nickel. Therefore, to prevent this nickel from coming into contact with seawater, neodymium magnets are sealed in products for marine aquariums.

As far as I know, the magnets are covered with silicone. There is no access for water. And it won't scratch the glass if something gets under the magnet.

Melinda

Good day to everyone! Maxim has basically answered for me))) But I will repeat, the magnets are coated with aquarium silicone, both inside and outside the shelf, water access to the magnets is limited!

I am most interested in how the ceramics will look in six months or a year. What will they be covered with? Lower or Carolina?

Kristen2246

In Russians and abroad, ceramics become covered with coral after maturation, while the lower organisms have nothing to feed on, as it is neutral and does not emit like cement and S.R.C. (dry reef rocks)!

Good afternoon. I saw it with the Chinese. I think it's a very interesting option. They have developed a group of segments that can be assembled like a constructor into ready-made decorations. The most interesting thing is that the segments are universal, meaning that by arranging them in different combinations, you can ultimately achieve different decorations. Here are the links, it might be interesting: here's another one:

P.S. This may, of course, take away individuality, but for commercial purposes it can put production "on stream," which will undoubtedly lead to a reduction in the cost of finished products. Individual orders can be made at a separate price.

Stephen

I think that unification is certainly good, but the individuality of products is much cooler. If everything is unified, we could even end up with ceramic locks. The designs look somewhat bulky in the link. Plus, the price is not very low. The cost hasn't decreased.

The wish, actually, is just one -- to bring the price to the level of at least J.K. (live rocks), not to mention S.R.K. (dry reef rocks). For now, the price tag is the most serious argument against even trying to buy. In any case -- good luck!

How long have you been involved in the production of bioceramics? You mention neutrality to seawater; have you conducted any testing?

Jenny

Of course, I will try to reduce the cost of ceramics! But for now, it is difficult to achieve this with our prices for electricity and raw materials.

I have been working on ceramics for over a year! There have been many experiments, both successful and unsuccessful. I have 3 decorations made of bioceramics in my reef, and there has been no negative impact from it in the reef, not just for me! I plan to completely get rid of live rocks and switch to ceramics in the near future! I boiled the ceramics for over 3 hours, after which I conducted tests on that water. What do you mean by the word "testing"? I am attaching a photo of the reef that contains bioceramics to rule out the toxicity of ceramics for the reef.

Caleb6320

By testing, I meant the analysis of water after immersing bioceramics for phosphates and silicates.

Chad

Silicates - O Phosphates according to the Hanna test O,1 were leached in 10L of osmosis with the last composition with rotating terraces, the next leaching will be 2 times lower! It has already been tested. So, it turns out O,1 in 10L/300L. Since the composition for such a volume = O,003, this is if the composition is not leached but placed directly in the aquarium! And since all ceramics are leached for at least 2 days, there is almost no phosphate left.
