Amino acids

[scabbedwings616]

Who else uses amino acids? This is from using Brightwell amino but wondering what the difference is with this and acro power? Can anyone show what the differences are?

Not sure exactly what I'm looking at. Same acro, 2 different angles of light?

Following, as I bought acro power and have used It a couple of times over a year but I haven't gone too much into it as I has trouble with cyano and had zero phosphates, I didnt want to put things in without looking into it more. I do need to raise phosphates still though so have been feeding more.

 

[scabbedwings616]

I feed too much. My tank has high phosphates and I still do the amino acids. I cut back the feedings and the fish seem fine and happy.

 

[BiGGiePauls33]

I used to dose 5ml acropower every other day, but without running gfo my po4 would skyrocket. I've since dropped the phosphate and have recently started dosing the acropower again. X per week. So far so good. Also, this is on a 29biocube, with lots of acros and zoas.

I do acropower and Red Sea reef energy.

Considering looking into some zeovit (Dr.Pohl)stuff soon as it seems to have the most dramatic results but also requires the most testing and it’s expensive..

Your tank is lookin good man! Dang !

Lol, tryin to just let it do it's thing without putting my hands into it. I'd like to frag a bunch of palys and zoas, but at the same time it's nice to see them full.

Looks good. Have you tried Brightwell amino?

Same coral different placements. A week after I got it.

 

[BiGGiePauls33]

I have not, but hear great things about Brightwell.

It looks like it’s not getting enough light. If zoas are happy where your acros are that’s a good sign that that’s a lower light spot. Assuming you don’t have a par meter. Put it all the way up top.
What light are you running?

I’ve used bright wells coral amino, acropower, phol’s, and etc....There’s better products out there seachem’s/Aquavitro’s reef biofuel one of the best there’s not a ton unnecessary stuff like the A&B by Redsea. I’ve had lackluster results with acropower it’s really lipids and fatty acids pretty basic which you’re paying a premium for lol.

So your saying acro power doesn't do much then? For the price you pay for it I mean. I dont use it currently its just I got a bottle cheap, well I got a nearly full bottle for free from a friend shutting his tank down. Is it worth even using it then? What is acro power ment to do? I was wandering if colours would improve on some corals. I think some have paled and this was due to the zero phosphates I had, I'd like them back how they were. So I'm hoping that dosing acro power might help
I have a 24 gallon with mainly all lps and some sps regrowing from the die off I had. This is my tank now.

I have used acropower for several years. It's very simple and easy to dose. I have become a firm believer in amino acids. The big difference that I see is several products contain other nutritional elements and acropower is just the amino acids.

No, I am trying to find out what works best with great results. I’ve been using Brightwell and like it as you can see but wondering if it’s better to switch to acro power or stick to this one.

So there is a difference in the companies? How can we find this kind of information out?

 

[BiGGiePauls33]

I'm such a donkey, I was feeding reef roids heavily when my po4 rose not acropower, lol.

Can i ask what dosing and how often, also what did it do? Did it improve corals etc?
