DIY Amino acid supplement?

Spare time · Nov 28, 2021

Is it possibly to make diy amino acid using free form amino acid supplements such as the one in the pic? I'm looking to make a custom coral food and was thinking about adding a pinch of a capsule into it each container

PS I am looking at others amino acid supplements too so it's not necessarily just limited to this one, but rather these products in general.

I am wanting a powder form that can be mixed with other things like spirulina and then fed to the tank

@Randy Holmes-Farley any clue if someone like this could be used ?

Yes, you just need to be sure you are OK with the other ingredients. The ones here look OK.

Jo-Mar Pure 21 is the one I use following the lead of another R2R member. Have been using his formula for over 2 years with nothing bad to say. I dose 1ml per 50g an hour prior to lights coming on.

Sorry I just checked my doser and I am dosing 10ml in my 200g total system so 2.5ml per 50g.

@bkhunt so is that 2.5ml once per day before lights come on? Also, I tried to dissolve 7g BCAA aminos and 6g sodium carbonate in 100ml of ro/di and it would not fully dissolve. Have you had this issue? If so, any ideas?

Thanks

I dose 1 time per day. With his recipe I get good dissolving but not 100%. I have a cheap milk frother that I use ever couple days to stir up my dosing container.
