Please THINK before talking to your tank!

I set up my coral QT tank today. I added dry rocks and new water — it’s a brand new system.

The phosphates were 0, so I got a calculator and dosed it up. In fact, I dosed a little extra because I knew the rocks needed to get saturated.

I enthusiastically said out loud, “Now you’re enriched with P!”

I had to do a double take. What did I just say? Come again? Pardon???

human urine

this is kind of a dumb question but i’d like to hear the why nots for it. Can you pee in your seeding tub or tank to provide a source of ammonia. Does human urine provide the same waste products that bacteria can effectively break down to nitrite?

I’ve always thought Phosphorus should have the symbol Ph not P. Palladium can have P and then Platinum should always have been Pl. Also whoever gave Proctactinium Pa is insane.

...periodically i also enjoy elemental humor.

Your family is probably going to have a talk with you..

Also @Miami Reef I have a chemistry problem for you. Can Phosphorus form a bond with the hydroperoxide ion? And if so what would the molecular formula be?

If P is this thread, then will POOH be the next one?

Thanks guys for the laugh. Lol

Ahh thanks
You should add that to your tank and announce it!

The only time I talk to my tank is when it's giving me a hard time, and usually the letter P is nowhere to be seen.

I'm guessing the fish in your tank looked at you with confusion, haha

My favorite is Tropic Marine trace supplement K+ which does not contain any of the element K+. lol
