    This is completely false. And an obvious sign of a new reefer. Those of us that have been at this for a while know that while yak's urine will drive your PH down, it's absolute god send for increasing yellow and green fluorescence and for driving growth of encrusters. ;D;D;D;D


    All kidding aside, it is a great frag and a beautiful coral. Enjoy your new add!

    Don't be nubs, Steve Tyree has been using Yak's Urine for years and has gotten great results. As long as it comes from a native Tibetan Yak you also won't need to dose carbon, as the broken down tundra vegetation contains a nitrogen fixing chemical that will absorb the nitrates and neutralize the toxicity of phosphates as well.
    Well wother the extra $5 an ounce IMHO.
