what happens with the minerals that scatter when I scrape coralline algae off my glass? I expect they are not soluble in any real amount in an aquarium environment, and just become particulate in the sand or get filtered out by a sock, depending on your setup. But perhaps the magnesium component makes them more soluble than I think, and some decent percentage of the mass rejoins the water column as available minerals.
I'm just guessing - a quick search of a few forums didn't yield a clear answer - I wonder if anyone knows?
