About this report
Generated on: Sat Feb 18 09:16:57 2023
This report summarizes an analysis of DNA from Bacteria and Archaea in an aquarium water sample. Thousands of individual DNA molecules from each sample were sequenced, and each DNA sequence compared with DNA databases to identify its origin. The report lists the different kinds of microbes in your sample, and their relative abundance, with a special focus on beneficial and harmful microbes for the saltwater aquarium.
Please check the links provided in each section for more information. If you have any questions about this report, please check the FAQ.
Information about the sample

| Sample Name | Example |
| Tank Name | My tank |
| Sample Date | Monday January 9, 2023 at 2pm |
Diversity
This score is a measurement of the number of different types of Bacteria or Archaea in the sample. Read more about Microbial Diversity here.
Your sample was less diverse than at least half the tanks we tested. If you’re interested in increasing this score, please see these notes.
Balance
This score compares the microbiome in your tank with that of a typical reef tank. High scores indicate a typical community, while low scores indicate an atypical community. Read more about this score here.
The community in your tank is very similar to that of a mature reef tank.
Community Composition
This figure shows the reasons for your balance score. Compare your sample with the typical community to identify families that are unusually high or low in your sample. Read more about the major families of microbes in reef tanks here.
The size of each bar indicates the relative abundance of each microbial family, coded by color. For clarity, only the families accounting for at least 1% of either community are shown here.
Your sample showed differences in the relative abundance of one or more of the major microbial families, compared with the typical reef tank. Learn more about these families here or at the links below.
| Excess families (higher than typical) |
|---|
| Vibrionaceae |
| Oleiphilaceae |

Nitrifying Community
These communities include ammonia-oxidizing Bacteria (AOB), ammonia-oxidizing Archaea (AOA), and nitrite-oxidizing Bacteria (NOB). Although present at detectable levels in most tanks, there turns out to be more variation in the levels of these groups than many aquarists expected.
