Crystal Sea Bio-Assay

Here is a interesting reply after using CS for a while ...

I haven't participated in these threads about the Crystal Sea much over the past month or two. I had a relatively significant event with a Heteractis sp. anemone, two Pavonas, a Pocillopora, and some Monti digitata bleaching.

I'm proud to report that everything is making a nice comeback and nothing was lost. I initially did a 30% change (mistake) about 2 months ago. Well, the other day I did only 5 gallons and nothing has reacted negatively...in fact, when I woke up this morning, the "bleached" anemone was spawning! No kidding...I got some video that I'm going to post soon, but I have to say that my tank is doing much better than it was 2 months ago. As if the anemone shooting eggs isn't proof enough...as someone else reported, the few small patches of Bryopsis that WOULD NOT go away, went away 2 days after the first big water change. Growth is excellent and the many of the corals are more colorful than ever.

Whether or not this is due to using CS Bioassay instead of IO, I don't know. I do know that I won't be switching again any time soon...
