Today on BRStv Investigates, we're showing off our latest experiment in the BRStv Lab where we take a look at how higher pH can effect coral growth in the reef tank. Who wouldn't want 50% or more coral growth from their frags and we aim to find out if it's possible through pH control! Sign up for your chance to WIN some Neptune and EcoTech gear! https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/specials/free-stuff-prizes.html Today on BRStv, we have a brand new episode of our series, BRStv Investigates. In this series, we explore popular reefing theories, products, methods, and what the manuals are missing, with a focus on putting them to the test! In this installment, Ryan shares our experiment where we are putting elevated pH to the test to see just how it effects coral growth rates. Follow along as we also discuss just how this approach can work and the science behind coral growth.

Keep up the good work and one day everyone will have successful sps reef tanks at home.
The ones that were chasing each other.

thanks to BRS , Rayn you are awesome
The central concern is that lower pH will make it harder for corals, clams and other “calcifier” creatures to make calcium carbonate skeletons and shells. Yet this concern also may be overstated. Off Papua New Guinea and the Italian island of Ischia, where natural carbon-dioxide bubbles from volcanic vents make the sea less alkaline, and off the Yucatan, where underwater springs make seawater actually acidic, studies have shown that at least some kinds of calcifiers still thrive—at least as far down as pH 7.8.
In a recent experiment in the Mediterranean, reported in Nature Climate Change, corals and mollusks were transplanted to lower pH sites, where they proved “able to calcify and grow at even faster than normal rates when exposed to the high [carbon-dioxide] levels projected for the next 300 years.” In any case, freshwater mussels thrive in Scottish rivers, where the pH is as low as five.

Loving your work guys! Just wish we could purchase from you from the UK !!
traditional WC. Thanks Ryan for Your Cash, Time, and effort to do all of these things. When I see these series I think Payroll and cost associated with each, and Thank you Andrew for not saying ENOUGH ALREADY!...Nice work on the build Arron.
Thanks again WWC-NEPTUNE-ECOTECH, as all three are already in my tank.
My next dream tank will feature Radion lights and pumps, an Apex and will start to buy corals from WWC!!!

I am down to $5.71c per day for food!!
Spent todays food money on a bucket..... :(
And I'm not talking about food for the fish.....
Reconsider my priorities??
Er... Do you EVEN reef bro?
Lol :)
Tank = life
If I can get by on under 6 bucks a day for food until pay day so that I can get this new tank cycling, then that my friend is simple good budgeting....
