Lou Ekus: Reef aquarium chemistry can be pretty easy and fun...No, really! | MACNA 2019

[randyBRS]

When you hear the word "chemistry" do you cringe or do you get excited?

Regardless of your reaction, @Lou Ekus from Tropic Marin makes reef chemistry a bit easier to understand in this year's MACNA 2019 presentation!

Great stuff really enjoyed the video thxs for sharing. He mentions Hans Wener products for the balling method, what product does Hans supervise and produce?

Enjoyed it. Thank you for posting. Learned a bit which is always nice. The part about balling, with A, B, and C. Is there a single product that makes up C?

I thought balling was dosing several items.

Edit: I see the products now which include A, B, and C. Just needed to do a bit more reading. Thanks again - nice presentation.

Lou answers your question about Hans-Werner Balling here in a previous R2R thread (see post #7).

Very good! But the ending left me a bit confused and wanting, would like a deeper and more detailed overview of carbon dosing. It's hinted that its true benefit is for the corals(as food?) rather than the side effect of it lowering nitrate and phosphate? Needed a few more minutes to dive into that!

Nice video Randy - explains alot.

Should have been atleast an hour long..

Made an account to just reply and say thanks. The best information I ever found about how the chemistry in my tank interacts within itself. I would like to challenge bulk reef supply to collaborate with its video and explain the difference in options the company has with this Neptune sponsored presentation. Both refutable sources of information that are at ends in some areas of the chemistry and which products are the best.

At least definitely.

Welcome to R2R!!! Thanks for chiming in! Along with his ability to present challenging concepts clearly, Lou is a true gentleman and genuinely good people.

A very nice presentation that felt shorter than it was with good visuals that assisted the presentation.

Good watch. Worth the time for sure. Has my wheels spinning on possible carbon dosing.

It could be a semester long graduate level college course.

I saw this presentation today and wonder what @Randy Holmes-Farley thinks of it...

Particularity as it relates to the carbon dosing part.

Any thoughts Sir?
