Herbivores don’t really “remove” it though - they poop it back into the system. This approach makes sense but only if you are manually pulling all of the algae growth out of the tank, otherwise the nutrients don’t actually go anywhere right? Not really any different than a refugium or scrubber...

Interesting! Does Fauna Marin have a breakfast smoothie recipe you can share? I am looking to maximize my fiber and protein while keeping the overall caloric intake reasonable.

I've done the bacterial test a couple of times now. I think I posted the results of the first one in my TJ. I mostly wanted to do a before/after chemiclean treatment (didn't notice much change in my microbiome other than a huge reduction in cyano on the results). I probably won't do another...
