I am no scientist, do not work nor represent nualgi in any way, nor was I aware of the benefits of dosing soluble/nano-particulate silicates into the aquarium, prior to researching and using a free trial of nualgi.
That being said, and it only being a week into treating, there are a couple things I can surely state from my experience. First being, that my corals seem to respond to it like they would to feeding in the way that on the second day my corals all acted like they had been well fed, even though I did not feed in the morning. I never get 100% fully expanded and opened polyps on every zoa in my tank, so that seems like a bit of a surprise. Also, my acans will generally beg for food all day, they now only extend feeding tentacles every other day and puffier and healthier than I have seen them.
Another thing I noticed was my water clarity, by the next day after dosing my water was extremely clear, more so than usual.
I did notice some diatoms crop up in spots where I had some hair algae, which is quite strange, but even after a couple days the diatom almost completely subsided and seems that the hair algae is just sloughing off into the water column. I will add that I did not have a nuisance algae problem, this was a small isolated rock, and my goal for nualgi was for coral growth as my tank is fairly clean.
My corals look like they did and almost better as when I was diligently feeding them every chance I had, which got old quick lol.
I was actually not aware of the benefits of dosing silicates and someone mentioned dosing other elements as well, care to elaborate? I am aware of and already dose the elements that my corals take up.
