It is not for maintaining pH, but for increasing calcium content; pH actually drops due to carbon dioxide... this is a downside of calcium reactors.

So why don't they install a calcium reactor when there are decorations made of natural stones from a coral reef, and just let CO2 pass through? "pH actually drops due to carbon dioxide" Are you not familiar with buffer systems, particularly carbonate ones? And that zooxanthellae need CO2 for photosynthesis... right?

Rodney

Guys, what made you think that the guy has a sea?

Ricardo7341

How is that??? Right in the aquarium?? Talented...... Unfortunately, no, I would appreciate some clarification. No, zooxanthellae are located in the host's tissues and receive CO2 directly from the host...

The difference is that at the mentioned pH values, calcium carbonate does not dissolve, and carbon dioxide needs to be injected into the aquarium until it reaches almost neutral levels and high concentrations of CO2, which invertebrates (six-armed and eight-armed corals) are unlikely to tolerate. In practice, the pH drops to eight even without CO2, and with a calcium reactor, it can go even lower.

While I was browsing the forum, I thought about what we have created here. Now I look at your four lines and can't even express my feelings about what has been written. The thought is increasingly arising that we might be talking about the same thing, and moreover, understanding it in the same way (God willing), but the limitations of these short responses can lead, so to speak, to misunderstandings. The suggestion is as follows. Present your thoughts in the form of an article, and I will present mine, and we can post it in the FAQ. (In general, I would even create a section for "Publications" so that we could post some articles from forum members.) Then we can discuss all of this.

I understand that it's better not to let article publications go unattended. Send them to me - I will post them in the FAQ or create a "articles" section. After all, in reality, most websites publish reprints. Authorial articles are what we can be proud of.

These types of mullets are brackish water species, and like all other brackish water fish, they can live in freshwater. It is known that there is a critical point of 21 parts per thousand, which cannot be crossed by either purely marine fish or brackish water fish. Anadromous fish are not taken into account.

Hello! So what? I would like to know more...

The most interesting aspect of cultivating red and black tilapia is that they can be grown in freshwater with the proper hardness. What more details? Is the hardness of seawater needed? Or the methodology for working with references on the Internet?
