pH > 7.8 and floating plants. Are sponges fungi?

I've read about the majority of plants preferring acid conditions, and
I've read that an acidic tank is easier to maintain, because it makes
Ammonia less toxic as Ammonium.


BUT AT LOWER pH NITRITE is more toxic!
So no win there.
Bacteria breed slower at lower pH's too, which makes it harder in my
opinion.




Most of my experience is with a
neutral tank, due to gravitation and the fact that 500g of KH2PO4 is
$135.

Reefs and coral-based life I can't answer for, because I don't know
that all of them prefer being bound to Aragonite and Apatite versus
sand. Anemones almost certainly prefer the Calcium base. More motile
beings might prefer a substrate with decaying plant matter, like black
soil or peat moss.

You've just won a trip to Los Angeles, and if you believe that, then
we hope you farm mushrooms, because we hav a much more expensiv line
of manure to sell you.

As it happens, I do happen to aim at farming aquatic fungus.
At least I think that's what sponges are. That's certainly
what they look like: Morel mushrooms. Then there's a couple with the
distinctive fruiting body containing the mycelium of a mushroom.

Anybody else got that clue? Got any better evidence that sponges are
mostly aquatic fungus?


sponges are way primitive.
sea squirts on the other hand are vertibrates and probably our most
primitive ancestor we can point at today.
Quite cool to see them at embryo and see that spine!
big things came from that, big things!
oh yea and us too!
Woooot
