JamesHe Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Yeah, most of them have to run AC almost contineously. Like this afternoon when I left Pingdon, it was about 90 degree F. However, the breeder I just finished the interview with came up with a cheaper solition. The breeder is Chih Nan, aka Water Mirror. Stay tuned for his interview. Interviewing Water Mirror in his coffee shop.... I guess using well water to cool the tanks. My second guess would be: placing the tanks in the basement or cave.

miwu Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 GH question: I'll go with the natural one is more concentrated/potent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpsmasher Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hmm... natural GH additive would lower / affect the pH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve R. Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 There are proteins and other macromolecules in the natural GH additives but not in the "artificial" ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve R. Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 You could detect it easily using a indicator for proteins, such as included in urin test strips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 In more natural GH products contain less additives and are mostly comprised of calcium and magnesium ions so it results in a "cleaner" solution with a lower TDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miwu Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Let me take another shot at this. The natural one produces a more stable GH faster. The natural one mixes faster which you can test by dropping a drop of each remineralizer into still water at the same time? I should be sleeping but instead I'm thinking about remineralizers.....

randy Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Sorry my friends....got home late last night after the last interview with Elegant Lady.... got some needed sleep and enjoyed more food and drinks... The GH correct answer is still up for grab... I have not tried it myself yet so not sure the correctness....so atm I can only use what I was told as the correct answer. The method likely takes some time, maybe a day or two, and involves no special eqipment. And its not a trick question ;-) ANBU and Hiatus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woopderson Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Amazing lookong shrimp! Another try at GH: if it is a simple check as you say, and it takes a day or two, then my guess is this: it has to do with how the stuff evaporates, and the residue it leaves behind. There will be differences between the residues/mineral crusts. Hiatus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiatus Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Agreed. Evaporation residue should be different. Maybe darker due to the longer list of elements . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the hint helped..... you got it.I was told the chemical onea will eventually show some powder, and natural ones will become jelly like. Can someone do an experiment? h4n and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopderson Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I have some MK Blue Diamond. I can confirm the jelly like residue, here is a pic of the top of the bottle. Its still wet with jelly/some small bits of hardened minerals. Natural product confirmed! I don't have any chemical mineralizer.
