Uv and phyto?

This is the setup I’m using. Just turn the air off and the brine sink to the bottom. Open the ball valve to collect. This is all under my frag tank

I have a tiny dragon pipefish that wiped out my pods and any additional ones I put in. Started to hatch baby brine. Finally found a solution. And it is so easy and cheap just lift the strainer out from the center to collect. The kit was 25 bucks and the eggs were 8 bucks and have had the same bottle for probably three months now

It seemed as though it was implied, I don't know.

the mention of pods is that they and the corals will eat both live and dead phyto passing out of the UV.

did you ever see a phytoplankton that wasn't under a microscope.

UV screws with the DNA (nucleic acids in particular) so the cells can function. If enough UV penetrates to enough cells the organism dies. When you see phyto is millions of single cell organism that can be killed by an overload of UV.

I don't know about pods, but they are fairly transparent for UV to hit their cells.


I think it's about larger organism having more cells to protect against excessive UV exposure.

thanks for infu
