Mineral Accretion technique

Ah good old barracuda!

Let's see what happens next.....

If the main idea is to create a region by which there is increased levels of minerals, then application of electrolysis in the sea would not be of much harm.

But considering that we do have limited ions in our confined tanks, such applications would cause a drastic decrease in certain ions and cause MAJOR ionic imbalance, am I right to say that?

hi there blueheaven,

i think that youre right to say that. i was wondering though if there could be remedies to that situation. like possibly adding some borate to counter sodium chloride breakdown or using a ca reactor to replenish ca and alk as it is being depleted, because alot of the mineral precipitation is possibly a result of ph swings due to the rapid loss of bicarbonates and alk. but it definitely looks like its not feasible for closed systems right now.
