Ammonia. However. -hmmmm
I don't think you're correct - Sodium is a mineralTDS meter works on principle of measuring conductivity, so it cannot be any "mineral".
I suspect it's something in gas or liquid form.
Ammonia in typical Reef Tank is mostly in liquid form, but in neutral pH it would be ionized ammonium kation and it would be detected by TDS meter.
Bacteria and corals consume ammonia, so this is my guess.
And that, precisely it cannot be Sodium as TDS meter would've detect it.I don't think you're correct - Sodium is a mineral
Bookmarking this post...A seahorse! Easy... Had some help tho tbh
Not sure what you mean. I said it wasn't sodiumAnd that, precisely it cannot be Sodium as TDS meter would've detect it.
Awnser!??!Answer coming later today.
A marine shrimp!HI! I asked Randy if I can do today’s Reef Chemistry Puzzle. He generously said yes!
Reef Chemistry Puzzle #8
Two clues today...
1. Loads of things want to consume me in a reef tank.
2. I’m pretty shy. Not even a TDS meter can detect me…but it can if you put me in freshwater at a pH of 7.
What am I?
Good luck!

Reef Chemistry Puzzle #7 Two clues today... 1. Every natural element has some impact on me, though some more than others. 2. i am not changed in any way by a temperature increase. What am I? Good luck! previous Reef Chemistry Puzzle...www.reef2reef.com
Yup, has to be this or CO2.A seahorse! Easy... Had some help tho tbh
I'm going to say - mixing human emotions to a chemical/element/compound might not be totally fair.HI! I asked Randy if I can do today’s Reef Chemistry Puzzle. He generously said yes!

MagnesiumA marine shrimp!
Lots of things want to consume it
Not detected by a TDS meter in a saltwater tank.
Is detected in freshwater at pH 7 (so long as you wait for it to die and decompose)
Easy!
Hmm, Calcium Carbonate?Good guesses so far!
I haven’t seen the answer I was looking for yet.
BTW - I don't think you're right - but - the answer was funnyYup, has to be this or CO2.
I wonder if this seahorse has a University degree in chemistry?
So thanks for the puzzle. Can't wait for the answer.
