What's in a TankDNA Report?

[AquaBiomics]

The TankDNA test identifies DNA from any eukaryotes in your sample. The main goal of this test is to screen for eukaryotic parasites that contribute to fish and coral diseases in the reef tank.

If your sample contains DNA from known parasites,
these are highlighted in your report.

Hey, @AquaBiomics do you guys have your results public? Like can I go and see how many tanks (Percentage Wise) have a certain parasite so we know what are the most prevalent issues of today's hobbyists? I assume its Uronema... And I think if I had to take a stab at it I would say about 20% have it if I took a shot in the dark

I need to buy one of these tests at some point just for the heck of it.

You can see the most common parasites here Info – AquaBiomics

Wow...
So I was right... 20% for the different types of Uronema!
6% for Ich and 1.2% for Brooks...

Thank you so much for sharing this @AquaBiomics

Are you still adding to this? Velvet is a noticeable omission.

Velvet’s covered, take a look at the full sample report. You have to expand the table under the parasites section to see the full list of what was checked for but not detected: 1000706_tankDNA_Report

Yeah I meant missing from the knowledge base.

The database is a work in progress. We will continue to add to it when we have the time and as new information comes to light.

There is a great article on Velvet here on the forum Marine Velvet Disease
