Alert to possible issues in case you haven't seen these reports.
Some types of skin care and sunscreen products have been identified as killers to reefs / coral.
This also means in your/our tanks at home as well!!!!
Curious if it also could have damaging / killing effects on
FW tanks.
Sunscreen also used in other products like make up and lotions
"benzophenone-2, or BP-2"

"oxybenzone and octinoxate"

"titanium oxide or zinc oxide" more gentle and not found to be toxic to reefs
