“Mountains of Sugar Hidden in the Ocean”

[Forty-Two]

Pretty interesting article posted today indicating that there are huge sugar reserves in the oceans hidden in sea grasses and they leach sugar during high light periods. This obviously creates bacterial activity and might have interesting implications for our own efforts to replicate a small piece of the ocean

There Are Mountains of Sugar Hidden in The Ocean, And We've Only Just Found Out

Hidden below the waves, the ocean contains vast reserves of sugar that we never were aware of, according to new research.

A very interesting topic, but I can't imagine myself dosing sugar lol.

Dosing sugar is actually a way of carbon dosing and one product I use actually contains brown sugar I believe as the carbon source. I use it primarily to boost the population of bacterioplankton as a source of nutrition for my corals.

Wow! Thankyou for teaching me something new!

You just have to balance your feeding to make sure the bacteria aren't lowering your nitrates and phosphates too much but I think it's a good natural source of coral nutrition

I couldn’t I’magine dosing milk
