The honey and milk is ingenious.
"Typical honey analysis:[45]
Fructose: 38.2%
Glucose: 31.3%
Maltose: 7.1%
Sucrose: 1.3%
Water: 17.2%
Higher sugars: 1.5%
Ash: 0.2%
Other/undetermined: 3.2%"
Which is acting possibly like a diverse carbon dosing source? Plus its decently water soluble because it is 17.2% water itself.
Milk is an emulsion of proteins, lactose and lipids. The main protein in milk, casein, bonds around nano clusters of calcium phosphate, which possibly the sps can absorb through night time feedings. I'm guessing it is a way to ferry large amounts of consumable food stuffed with important elements to the sps, in a conveniently water soluble suspension. decent amounts of potassium as well I think?
I'd bet that the serious polyp extension that this gorgeous tank (well done xjoyhugo, well done) displays is because of the amount of food the sps catch and consume thus they realize that if they have more polyp extension they will catch more foods?

This. I think we need some people to experiment with this stateside!

I may be able to volunteer...

Did you ever hear back on dosing? the links provided are in another language and I cant get a translator to work. I appreciate the help.

it's the most interesting thread i've ever seen, following

 

[Boom]

Awesome! Maybe we can revive this thread. I went to Hugo's link written in an Asian language and pushed the translator button... I guess marine terms don't translate very well into English. I'm curious to know what the exact translation is for the milk and honey dosing. Anyone out there know or have experienced any results to share?

 

[Boom]

Im chomping at the bit to try it on my NPS and soft coral tank.

 

[Dosepher]

Wow! The color in this tank is amazing! Great job! :thumbsup:

 

[kimacom]

wow, any updates?

 

[Zweebe]

Need updates! It sounds really awesome

I think it'll be hilarious if KZ or Elos starts selling a milk and honey pack for $85 for two little 20 oz. bottles
