Description
CoralAmino
Free-form amino acids:
1. Provide the building blocks of coral tissue in ideal ratios to encourage
the formation of new tissue.
2. Encourage new tissue growth to repair damage incurred during fragmentation
and propagation.
3. Encourage growth by budding and fission.
4. Encourage vibrant coloration.
Technical Background
Brightwell Aquatics CoralAmino is a complex that closely approximates ratios
of amino acids present in many species of stony corals; the formulation is
based upon extensive research conducted on tropical coral reefs by oceanographic
researchers. While the ratios of amino acids present in coral tissue vary
between species, general ratios are approximately maintained, enabling an
effective average to be created that will benefit not only stony corals, but
also soft corals, solitary, and colonial polyps (e.g. Xenia, Anthelia, Zoanthus,
Discoma, Actinodiscus, etc.). The amino acids are present in their most elementary
form (”free-form”) rather than being accounted for by their presence
in a food or complex nutrient; in this fashion, they are readily available
to corals and their allies. The main benefit of this quality is the ease in
which corals can assimilate the amino acids into their tissue for the purpose
of growth and tissue repair. Secondary benefits of some amino acids are their
role in enhancing the coloration of corals.
Corals maintained under optimal chemical and environmental conditions are
able to reproduce (both sexually and asexually) more rapidly when the required
nutrients are available. The presence of these free-form amino acids is particularly
important to corals that have undergone, or will undergo, fragmenting or other
means of propagation in which some amount of tissue is damaged.
Instructions and Guidelines
Shake product well before using. Turn protein skimmer and other forms of mechanical
filtration off prior to adding CoralAmino to aquaria, and allow 10 - 15 minutes
after use before resuming operation of filtration.
Target Feeding (recommended): Pour 1 ml (~20 drops) into a small container
and suck a portion into feeding device, then slowly discharge contents 2 -
4” upstream of target organism(s). Repeat these steps as deemed necessary.
Do not place the glass dropper directly into aquarium water unless you plan
to thoroughly rinse it (inside and outside) with fresh water before placing
dropper back into bottle; failure to do so will contaminate the product and
encourage it to decompose.
Broadcast Feeding: Add up to 1 ml per 50 gallons of water in an area of rapid
water movement daily for the first four weeks of use.
Notes: Research indicates that amino acid uptake in corals takes place externally
rather than internally; therefore, soaking foods in CoralAmino would be of
little use. Rather, it is best utilized by target feeding specific corals
and their allies; in doing so, the majority of the amino acids reach the intended
organisms rather than ending up in filtration media or indirectly impacting
water quality (as often occurs when indescriminately “broadcast feeding”).
Add no more than 5 ml total of liquid food suspensions per 50 gallons of water
in the entire aquarium system daily for the first four weeks of use; thereafter,
the dosage may be gradually increased as desired.
Caution: Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption.
