Quote from tank owner:

Thanks for the reply my friends, I really add real milk and honey,
and the NO3 & PO4 values are always around 20~50(before) & 0.05(usually)
i add milk 10cc per day, I stop adding honey about 3 months,
because I want to examine the effect of the milk
the milk can help coral growth fast including sps and lps,

The original purpose I add milk is increase the fatty acid for the tank to avoid sps skin peeling, compared to add the commercial products, is heterogeneous, often incongruous mixture of elements, i prefer to add milk,

but i add milk after alga disappear, and sps become the major creature,
or there will bring the disaster <--- not really sure what this sentence means

By the way, the NO3 values is about 0.5~5 after start adding honey,
if you want to know more information, please let me know, thks!

So what do you guys think? He did not elaborate what type of milk he uses though. Any chemist here that can shed more light into this?

Finally, anyone dare to be the first guinea pig? Lol

Milk contain enzymes which is cater for small cows.. How those sps going to break down those enzymes. .

Is it a April fool day joke ? Just kidding.. Hope someone can test it out on a small scale and share some light in our local reefing scene. It definitely help save our pocket on amonia acid ect ..

Do have algae and cyano problem before milk dosing

I think Hugo mentioned to start dosing milk only after clearing all algae issues.

You are one brave reefer! Maybe you can start dosing small like 2ml daily for a week and see how it goes. Do remember to update!

Some articles suggest red bull has real bull semen... Maybe the natural way really works ! Wanna increase population productivity better go natural

I saw that, but no mention why. My guess is that the milk will fuel it. Currently I am dosing redsea no3po4 to control my no3 and sorb4 to control po4.
