You can either target feed or broadcast feed (dose)
CoralAmino into your reef tank. Target feeding
(recommended daily) is going to be more effective because
you will be getting more amino acids into your corals
directly but it does require a bit more effort. Broadcast
feeding or simply dosing into a powerhead will work too,
it's just not as efficient in terms of delivering the
amino acids directly to your coral.
Target Feeding:
- Turn OFF the protein skimmer
- Draw up at least 1-2 mL of CoralAmino using the glass
bulb syringe.*
- Squirt the CoralAmino into a small container or
measuring spoon.
- Using a separate plastic pipette, draw up the
CoralAmino from the container or spoon.
- Proceed to spot feed the tank.
- Turn ON the skimmer after 15-20 minutes.
*Never contaminate the glass syringe with salt water. Use
the syringe ONLY for drawing CoralAmino out of the bottle
but never use it to feed the corals directly. Use a
separate pipette or syringe to target feed your aquarium.
You want to avoid running the risk of getting even the
smallest amount of saltwater in your CoralAmino
bottle.
Broadcast Feeding:
- Turn OFF the Protein skimmer
- Add 10-20 drops per 50 gallons to a high flow area of
your tank.
- Turn ON the skimmer after 15-20 minutes.
What does Brightwell Aquatics CoralAmino do?
Amino Acids are simple organic compounds that are the
building blocks of proteins. The effects are seen in
corals by assisting and encouraging new tissue growth and
enhancing vibrant coloration.
- Provides the building blocks for coral tissue
- Encourage new tissue growth
- Encourages growth via budding or fission
- Enhances vibrant coloration
Can you overdose Amino Acids in a reef tank?
Yes, too much CoralAmino can cause a cyanobacteria
outbreak.
Do corals need amino acids?
Yes, they absolutely need amino acids. In fact, all
living things need amino acids. Some amino acids we
produce organically while others we get via food or
supplementation.
Do corals NEED Brightwell CoralAmino specifically?
No, they do not but it has been proven time and time
again to improve both growth and coloration among corals.
So why not?!
Will my protein skimmer remove Brightwell Aquatics
CoralAmino?
Some amino acids can be removed by a protein skimmer so
that is why it is best to turn it OFF for at least 15-20
minutes when using CoralAmino.
