Amino Acids In Our Aquarium. A Data Analysis Review Scientists studying dissolved organic matter (DOM) in water use amino acid abundances to help identify its sources. Amino acid ratios help to determine how degraded this matter is, and in turn, informs about microbial activity. What can amino acid concentrations in our aquaria tell us?
What is the most effective, non-refrigerated, Amino Acid supplement you have used specifically for nursing damaged coral tissue (e.g., frag healing/recession) while also supporting vibrant growth and color? Looking for the best budget per-dose option.
I would like to put together a DIY amino acid recipe with bulk powders to create something like Brightwell Coral Amino. Than from Tidal Gardens mentioned a DIY amino they use on their farm in a BRS video, but I haven't been able to find any info on it. The chart in this link seems like a good...
While I have made many positive changes to my aquarium so far, I’m always looking for more ways to improve coral health and growth, and one that I know many people use is amino acid dosing. I’m curious as to the benefits of doing so, aside from being another nutrient source for the corals.
Hey @Badger_Reefer! For your coral selection I think adding amino acids could definitely be beneficial. The softies will appreciate the dissolved organics and your goniopora in particular is known to respond well to amino supplementation. As for which aminos - Brightwell's Aminomarine and Polyp Lab's Reef-Roids are good go tos.
Amino acids can worsen dinoflagellates issues. Adding extra fish If your tank has the extra room, increasing the fish load can be a satisfying way to increase nutrients while simultaneously adding more activity and inhabitants. If you don’t have many fish, adding excess food without consumption will increase the carbon and organic waste input.
