Ok moving on from the K thread how about your thoughts regarding the addition of iron into the aquarium.

I no there must be more research which has been done in this area.

There was a good article in one of the coral mags a few months back, will find it tonight.

This is a really interesting one. There is a lot of information around about it.

Look more for info on marine bacteria, dinoflangellates, cyanobacteria, and phytoplankton, than corals directly. African dust, coral disease, and siderophores might give some interesting results.

If your into DSB's, it plays an important role in the processes going on in sediments too.

I have my opinions on adding iron. Will be interesting to see what real information others come up with.

Why did someone have to bring it up,

Lets go fishing.

just found these quotes, btw this guys an expert

1 iron spelt backwards is nori. nori is used to wrap sushi and tangs like to eat it.

2 i never iron my jeans or undies.if they have wrinkles i throw them in the dryer on high for a few minutes.

3 you must never use something made of iron to discipline your wife or kids,it can hurt and leaves marks which may be admissable in court.

i hope this helps dispel any uncertainty out there and helps everyone sleep better.

if anyone would like to post any additional facts please verify them 1st.
