Yes - It has made things a lot easier. Expensive, but has reinvigorated my desire to keep a tank,

Wow I don't think I've seen such a diverse biome. Must be that live rock you started with. I'll have to read up on those coral pathogens they listed..
And the IPSF products
Lmk what you come up with.
This pretty much sums it up. There are some acros on the list under "low susceptibility/resistant".

@Timfish any thoughts about my results?

High tech. Do you like it? Yes - It has made things a lot easier. Expensive, but has reinvigorated my desire to keep a tank,

Great to see test results! Looking at how critical the right microbiomes are to corals it's fantastic we finally have a tool to help us understand what's going on. FWIW one time I experimentally ran a diatom filter on a neglected frag tank to with a series of Aquabiomics tests the diatom filter was able to improve overall results as well as remove 3 coral pathogens listed in the initial benchmark test.
Here's alist I put together of different families and how they relate to to systems shiftng to corals or to algae.
I pulled these lists from a couple of the papers I've come across to make it easier to identify which way my tests are going. They list the some of the classes and orders of microbial stuff according to their associations with different sources of Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC "carbon dosing").
From the paper "Global Microbialization of Coral Reefs" Fig. 3
These microbial order/families were enriched with algae cover on reefs.
Cytophagaceae
Flavobacteriaceae
Planctomycetaceae
Burkholderiaceae
Pasteurellaceae
Synechococcus
Prochlorococcus
Brucellaceae
Vibrionaceae
Enterobacteriaceae
These microbial orders/families were enriched with coral cover on reefs.
Shewanellaceae
Bacillaceae
Caulobacteriaceae
Sphingomonadaceae
Hyphomonadaceae
Bradyrhizobiaceae
Acetobacteriaceae
Phyllobacteriaceae
Clostridiaceae
Rhodospirillaceae
SAR11
Rhizobiaceae
Rhodobacteriaceae
From the paper "Coral and macroalgal exudates vary in neutral sugar composition and differentially enrich reef bacterioplankton lineages" Fig. 2
These phyla were more elevated in ambient and control samples

Thanks for the additional information Tim @Timfish
Sure looks like it
The millipora frags aren't doing well. The others seem ok.
Per your recommendation, Therman.
Nice! Tim has some great healthy pieces. Which ones did you pick up?

Nice pieces! You're going to need a bigger tank before you know it.
