Aminos

[scotty333]

Hi guys

I’m interested to know how many out there use aminos and swear by them

I dose Aquavitro Fuel which has aminos in it. But the main reason I dose it is because of the additional trace elements contained in it.

Just had a read of that product and sounds good but I guess the trace addition is very minor given the size of the bottle and the other ingredients
Do you notice a difference?

I’ve noticed a little improvement in color and growth. Can I attribute this to the Fuel? I really can’t say. Maybe the improvement would’ve happened anyways without it. Your best bet would be to try it out yourself and after a couple of weeks or months judge for yourself if it is of any benefit to your tank. I will say though when starting off, whether it be this product or any other product, it would be a good idea to dose less than the recommended amount to avoid an algae outbreak.

Says on the bottle it’s good for leathers and Zoas
Colour and opening

I wanted aminos for my sps ideally or for all types

I have I got the wrong stuff?

It doesn't add trace elements directly but rather its listing what the chlorella algae is made of inside the bottle.

Its fine.

I’m not looking for trace elements from the but rather the A and K I’ve bought

I hoped this would provide aminos to all corals but it targets zoas and leathers which is not what I want

For any coral

I think that's just a marketing claim.

Another issue is my po4 is super stable at .04 and this stuff reduces it

Tropic Marin Amino Organic stimulates coral growth, intensifies coloration and biologically reduces phosphates in reef aquariums. Pale or brownish corals are often caused by an excessively low concentration of easily digestible nitrogen compounds. Tropic Marin Amino-Organic contains amino acids and other organic nitrogen compounds that stimulate the growth of soft and hard corals, as well as disc anemones and zoanthids. This results in anthozoans absorbing more of the available phosphate in the water, thereby biologically reducing phosphate concentrations. These near-natural conditions result in anthozoans opening up better, flowering visibly, with greater vitality and more intense coloration. Tropic Marin Amino-Organic does not contain nitrates or phosphates.
Tropic Marin Amino Organic

1. contains valuable amino acids and minerals
2. adds easily digestible organic nitrogen compounds to the aquarium
3. provides a balanced nitrogen/phosphate (N:P) ratio if the water contains excessive amounts of phosphates
4. biologically reduces high phosphate concentrations
5. stimulates coral growth
6. corals develop with greater vitality and display improved coloration
7. increased opening of anthozoan polyps
8. free of nitrates and phosphates
