My Tank Thread
In a different thread, Christoph of Oceamo posted some analysis data for skimmate, and I'd like to start this thread for discussion of it. One thing I'm hoping Christoph can add is an analysis for the tank water that was on the same tank, so we can readily see how enriched or not the skimmate is with respect to various ions. here's the data he posted so far:

id like to post a typical example of a SkimQuant result, which is conducted by ICP-MS from a acid digested skimmate sample. When collection time and skimmate volume is also given, it is possible to calculate a daily export rate.
@Christoph

Your tank is too new for _______ organism. Why?
On a differrent note, I am considering using a calcium reactor on seaweed growout systems. While I didn’t see a problem with effluent low pH on a seaweed tank, would using a second reactor with dolomite make sense to you? Yes If you have Randy´s remark in your head :) Skip it if Mg get to high...
