Several weeks ago I had a thread regarding the use of Corian in place of cutting board for a bare bottom tank. Randy, Boomer, Bertoni and a few others provided some interesting feedback. One potential concern is ATH ( alimina trihydrate ) in the composition of the material.
So, my tank continues to struggle and I've narrowed it down to two potential causes. Something to do with the Corian, or my water source. I am on public water, and process through ro/di with a zero tds reading. Can there be something hanging in the water that will not read on a tds meter? Or is "0" truely "0".
I am at witts end and ready to take the tank down and remove the Corian. Hate to do that, but I haven't even been able to get any info directly from the maker.
The alumina trihydrate makes me think (after reading Randys articles), the coral response is similar. Poor pe, limited growth, loss of color etc.
As stated in the previous post, parameters have been pretty much ruled out, it's something strange goin on!!
Any ideas or additional concerns with the ATH?
Thanks Guys.
