Mitch, would you mind to repeat the test with rinsed mysis (and please describe the method used for rinsing, how long, etc. to try to put some kind of quantifier on it)? It would be interesting to see the difference. Thanks |
Tony, I've got another 18 grams of mysis thawing right now, and once thawed, I'll be rinsing them in R/O just enough to get rid of the "juice". After that I'll re-weigh them and soak them.
I'm a little surprised at the results of the unrinsed mysis. I would have thought that the phosphate would have been tied up in the meat of the shrimp and would not have "leached" out into the water.
Rikko, I'm trying this out as far as what methods a typical reefkeeper would choose to feed the tank with. I haven't heard of anybody rinsing nori yet, although there may be a benefit there. I don't know if I'll try that test or not.
Mitch
