Oceamo Laboratory Testing - Dr. Christoph Denk

[@Jay-dq5vg]

Great talk. You're doing great work for the hobby Adam. Keep it up man.

[@PnCBio]

This and Reef Beef are the two most informative reefing podcasts in my humble opinion. If you're in Canada, Frag Garage are the nicest and most bullet proof frags. Well worth the price, especially the cheaper stuff if, like me, you can't afford the really $pendy stuff.

Yippee,, Sunday reef content. Thank you I love all of these interviews!! I think I’m burned out on basic info, these shows fulfill my craving for more information

[@traianboala3798]

This was a really insightful conversation. Thank you so much for taking the time to give us this powerful information. I’m from Romania and I’ll use, for sure, Oceamo lab testing. I am just curious to know why Oceamo stoped the collaboration with Aquabiomics. As I know, in this moment, there’s no way in Europe for people to test their tank microbiome or DNA.

[@Reef_Ranch]

Another great, practical, informative pod cast!

[@davbenav]

Great content, so much more to learn which makes this hobby so great!

[@janlauridsendk]

Great episode - learned a lot in just two hours 🤓

[@leonardodenbreejen]

Great episode! I learned a lot for sure.

Love it that Christohph pointed to an important little known fact that KCl dips likely works by inactivating animals nervous systems. It actually does the same to the nervenet syncitium of the corals as well, but it doesn't kill them. For those interested: High extracellular K+ depolarizes the membrane potential of nerve cells such that becomes inactivated, paralysing or killing the bugs. It is the same in mammals and humans. Inject a human with KCl in the blood stream and it will inactivate the nervous innevation of the heart, making it stop rapidly.

[@Oceamo]

Thanks! Yes, its often stated that the KCl Dip is only effective by high salinity, which is certainly not correct.

[@jonathanhenry5465]

This was great so much good information.

[@jsauce666]

Great discussion. Been using Chris’ MS for over a year now. Great product.

[@saltwaterandlime]

Dr Christoph... the radioactive tagging study you mention that hopefully some day gets funding. That is very similar to what I do except in people... imaging radioactive tracers to see how the body/organs take up elements to see functionality.... So like, if anyone ever wants to hire someone to do this study, I'm all in!!!

[@fraggarage5922]

ohh man, that would be cool! I'm sure Chris will respond soon.

[@Oceamo]

Hi, yes, there would be a lot to explore! Worked in radiopharmaceutical chemistry/research aswell for quite some time, interesting field! all the best, Christoph

[@Fish_Ventura]

Thanks!

[@fraggarage5922]

Aww thank you so much! Beer for me haha

[@TyroneForster]

I would also be interested in what salt he recommends after listening

[@PoloReef]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@alexbrookes5355]

Brilliant talk

[@eggiereyes]

So much good information.

[@TheTrevor40]

My iodine is 402 and my acros have never looked better. I’m working to get it down to be safe.

[@fraggarage5922]

Wow, that's quite high and surprising.. Did it get raised to that level slowly over time?

[@TheTrevor40]

About two months apart on my tests. It was high two months ago and so I stopped adding additional but the All for Reef seems to be super high on this batch or it’s because I dose a crazy amount now on my sps tank. I have since stopped dosing AFR as much and adding more Kalk and Soda Ash.

[@Reefahholic]

402 is high, but you want have any issues there.

[@dutchcarguy6793]

Please ask this man what salt brand comes out best from his tests... And what way of reducing nutrients came out best from his tests?

[@petarst]

Nyos and Red Sea are the best salts..

[@Oceamo]

Oceamo corrector and nyos pure are my current salt recommendations. There might be plenty of other good salts on the market.

[@dutchcarguy6793]

@@Oceamo thanks alot!! How about reducing nutrients after seeing how much they absorb i kinda would like to know your recommendations on this

[@RichardGraff-o3f]

Adam, this was a great talk as usual love your guests and the topics you cover. I can’t figure out, as a hobbyist in the US do I order an Oceamo ICP MS test?

[@fraggarage5922]

Thank you! Order through the RMS site: andremueller.e-junkie.com/product/1758008/Reef-Moonshiner26230393Bs-ICP-MS-Test

[@Oceamo]

Hi, yes, our testkits are available via Reef Moonshiner in the US and Canada

[@Reefahholic]

Nice stream! 😉

[@AMGEE]

Potassium is taken up a lot by montipora! A lot! So this tells me most of it is anekdotal... btw. I am 30 years into this hobby....

[@fraggarage5922]

Interesting if it's taken up faster than acropora and other sps?

[@AMGEE]

@@fraggarage5922 yes. The coral god (jake adams) has also made this experience. That way it is a little more than anekdotal😀 i once was literally turning my tank around when an ICP test showed very low potassium and all my digitatas (half of the tank which is 500g) were nearly dead. Filled up the missing amount and voila all the montis came back within 2 days. Other corals didnt care.

[@mikkostenberg1740]

Tin is a great anti corrosive coating material. For example many steel components etc meant to be used in or near saltwater have it. For example many saltwater fishing hooks have tin coating. I would not be surpriced if many razor blades would have tin coating. Mr Oceamo is just not aware of this... 🤔

[@rhombifer566]

Sorry no money 💰 but love you're show

[@fraggarage5922]

haha that's fine! thanks for the comment though!

[@arturreef8117]

You read people's minds lol

[@dannymcelroy]

First

[@arianasarmastzada5720]

Love to Watch the podcast but sometimes you talk to Much 1 tip let your quests finish the story before you start Talking Again About yourself 😅 Its sometimes quite annoying to Hear That

[@fraggarage5922]

I'm sorry you find my insights self indulgent..?! Navigating these conversations with delays on Skype, some guests being less talkative, means I just try my best to keep things interesting and moving along, while adding my experiences here and there.. At the end of the day, it's just a conversation.

[@dutchcarguy6793]

@@fraggarage5922 it depends on the quest… this man from oceamo has so much more knowledge and facts!!! about this topic its better to let the man spit facts instead of keeping Things interresting if this topic is not interresting for someone its probably not his video and go look somewhere else
