Murray Camp presentation:

You want me to put what in my tank?
An overview of probiotic and carbon dosing methodologies.

Summary:

This presentation will provide an overview of the commercial and DIY probiotic and carbon dosing methodologies being used in reef aquaria today. The presentation will last approximately one hour and be accompanied by a power point that will contain multiple images of products discussed and reef tanks using this system. Topics covered include:

1. The science supporting ULN (ultra low nutrient) systems, including bacterial biomass enhancement and nutrient reduction, and bacterioplankton as a food source for corals;

2. A comparison of the commercial systems available (Prodibio, Zeovit, Ultralith, NeoZeo, NP Biopellets, etc.)

3. Current DIY methodologies, including vodka, vinegar, sucrose, glucose, ascorbic acid, and mixed carbon sources (VSV, VSV+Vit.C, VGV, etc.);

4. Husbandry considerations when using these systems (skimming, GFO, GAC, alkalinity and potassium balance, amino acid supplementation, etc.)
