Power-up your Acro's..........

[Maximus]

Ok, just opened it. Is it supposed to be a clear liquid? The Amino Acids i've used have been brown and have a medicine type smell. I don't smell anything and it is clear liquid. Can someone verify this before I dose?

 

[Maximus]

Do you guys shut off your skimmers and pumps? I shut off my return pump and skimmer and left my vortech's on.

 

[kandymann]

It is fine to leave the skimmer on.

What did it taste like? Mine was sweet.

Yep, it's clear. I does daily about 1ml with the skimmer on.

You tasted it? hmm, I might try that. :tongue:

Not only good for Acro but makes your hair silky soft.

LOL just dosed 6ml in a 75g tank. I'm not cutting any corners and will dose full strength. I'll probably end up dosing 15-20ml/week (6ml 3x/week) for now.

Woa, I think I just saw an inch of acro growth in the past 5 min!! This stuff works great!!:)

 

[Dtech07]

I just started also and took pictures to track progress if any.

 

[Dtech07]

Haha

 

[Reefltx]

Haha

Holy crap, you're right, it is sweet!
Maybe honey is the secret ingredient, I remember reading about those guys oversea using it.

 

[Dtech07]

What good for the tank has to be good for you right???

I've been using it for about 4 months now. NO algae problems, and my corals are coloring up nicely! I got mine from Vivid Aquariums, DRS Fosters & Smith have it also.

I have had a little cyano show up which was not around before dosing. I started dosing Microbakter7 an hour after I dose the acropower

 

[clowninaround74]

Is there an easy way to measure this out? I'm manually dosing it right now and just starting with a capful or two not to shock the system. I'd like to get a little more accurate

 

[Dashiki]

Use a measuring cup

 

[clowninaround74]

None of mine measure by the ml... Only in cups. Given I only have to dose 10ml per week this gets hard to measure unless someone has a tip

^ A syringe from an old testing kit will work nicely.

I use the syringe that comes with the Salifert Test kits. They measure 5 ML

Didn't even think of that! Thanks
