First off I don't claim to be a chemist.....
But I am reading from research that zoanthid tissues are IRRITATED by the build up of oxygen. And the RELEASE of this oxygen helps produce MORE zooxanthellae algae that allows zoas to grow more tissue and have brighter colors.
So here's the $64,000 question:
Higher pH numbers I'm assuming means there is MORE dissolved oxygen in the water column....
So does having a higher pH (of 8.2+) mean that its COUNTER PRODUCTIVE to the growth of Zoas? (i.e. less dissolved oxygen produces more zooxanthellae tissue?)
