Scientific evidence for this?
Interesting. How long have you been using and do you have any before and after photos? Have you documented any anecdotal evidence this is effective? Or, have sources to indicate its efficacy?
Levels are not being scrutinized. The amino's used are. Can you cite some papers with links? Preferably listing the amino's used in BCAA that correlate to those used by corals. Please.It’s a solid estimate of levels used in many amino coral foods.
There are many papers describing coral amino uptake.
This formula seems to work well in my Aquarium.
Give it a try!
I’m not a scientist. But I’ve found this formula to work well. I simply posted this in order to spread some ideas, not to be attacked. Although I would appreciate your input on what amino acids to use. Thanks.Levels are not being scrutinized. The amino's used are. Can you cite some papers with links?

I hope you didn't feel like I was attacking you. I absolutely LOVE DIY and it's new territory for me in terms of creating any sort of supplements beyond element containing compounds or custom food blending.It’s a solid estimate of levels used in many amino coral foods.

Every time I post something I immediately dive back into the trench and duck for cover. This place can be a hostile environment for people whom wish to exchange ideas and information.Or you could do your own homework.....
Tough crowd considering OP is freely sharing what works for them.
@OP, thanks for the info, def gonna take a look.
I took this formula from an approximation of ingredients found on a label of Acropower. I do not have the label link.I hope you didn't feel like I was attacking you.

I'll also admit that I used to think aminos were snake oil but I think there's enough argument for legitimate benefit. I read though the "
Uptake of dissolved free amino acids by the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata "
article but didn't see a formula in their methodology section. Also did you find specific evidence on storage and longevity of mixture in storage?
Which journal article did you source the formula from.
I think a DIY mix would be awesome, especially based on the difference in cost.
I am interested in your dosing schedule and how long the formula stays viable.Every time I post something I immediately dive back into the trench and duck for cover. This place can be a hostile environment for people whom wish to exchange ideas and information.
Best Of Luck!

I have only been mixing 500 ml at a time. I believe the vinegar works as a preservative. That said, I do not have any information or data on its current Shelf life. I’d be interested to see what the shelf life of acropower or other commercial mixes are.I am interested in your dosing schedule and how long the formula stays viable.
No shade on your information!!!
I have a 40 gallon. Mixed sps,lps,a couple of softies.How much do you dose on what size tank?
Type of tank, is SPS, LPS...
How long does the mix stay good for
Thanks for the info!!!
I have every intention on trying this.I have a 40 gallon. Mixed sps,lps,a couple of softies.
I dose around 1ml per day. Randomly.
I hope it works well for you! Let us know how it goes!I have every intention on trying this.
Thanks for the information!!!
I'm having trouble getting this to dissolve?5g bcaa (unflavoured, no additives)
125 ml vinegar
375 ml ro water
