Boron and Cyano relationship
6/27/19
Hey guys sorry to bother
<Hey Tom, no bother at all.>
but we have been sending water samples to ICP labs and when ever our
boron level seems to increase to about 40
<40 what??... Typical values in nature are 4-5 ppm while in aquarium
systems can be higher.>
you know it’s a very drastic increase in Cyano in normally pristine
Systems we also noticed that when I was boron level increases our
Coraline bleaches and flakes off the walls
<It may have to do with your salt, although normally it does not come in
high levels in the salt mixes commonly used for aquariums, so , it could
be more related to buffer additives, do you use any?...I wouldn’t worry,
IF your B level is in the normal range. You can return the Boron to safe
levels via water changes.>
Never knew that Boron was that important and that detrimental to both of
these.
<Oh, yes, could be an issue if it gets off the charts. Thanks for
sharing. Wil.>
Re: Icp test questions... S2 issue 2/19/19
What are some sources for boron and ways to remove it?
<I would stick to frequent partial water changes, use of PolyFilter,
Chemi-Pure or such IN a biological system. B>

Now would lent ph buffer be my source?
Was just reading an arrival from randy Holmes on effects of boron
levels
<... What? "Lent"?... Do you mean Kent?

Do you see Sulfur listed as an ingredient? I don't.

Yes Kent dhk buffer also looks like calcium reactors can be a source
according To the article if it is not coming from the source water
