Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach him how to fish and you get rid of him all weekend.

Re: Amino Acids for corals
You could open up a large can of worms with this.
Check this out and I believe there are a couple of links there too. If it was me, I don't know if I want to add that to a brand new tank. JMHO.

Re: Amino Acids for corals
I think you should wait at least another couple of years before even considering any of those "methods." It's not something you really need to get into at this point in your "hobby career."

Re: Amino Acids for corals
I didn't buy it, it was just something being pushed by the LFS....$35.00 a bottle! I was just curious since I have never heard of this stuff....

Re: Amino Acids for corals
A much cheaper, safer, and probably much more effective way to give your coral all the animo acids they need is good old fashioned feeding.

Re: Amino Acids for corals
That's partially what the thread Charlie posted was about but with a few extras but I've decided against it since I'm already battling nitrates and possibly a small cyano outbreak, I guess it's another water change tomorrow Originally Posted by greenbean36191 Louise

Re: Amino Acids for corals
The people that are using this method also run their Ca, and Mg levels at what seems to me to be rediculously high levels, did you notice that? I found it hard to keep my Ca at 410 when my 300 was an sps tank!!!
Good luck!!400 Gallon Reef Log

Re: Amino Acids for corals
Yup, I noticed a lot of weird stuff but the fact that most of them stopped does say something...
