Any one use Brightwell Coral Amino?

[Alex]

hey rich are you dosing at night or during the day?

 

[jackson6745]

In the morning before the lights come on. Corals are still in extended polyp night mode though Working on the pics.....

I think I read that Aminos don't actually contain that many phosphates. I'm jogging my memory from a post that Randy Holmes replied to mine.. sorry, hate to be vague...

I tried to get before pics by cropping larger shots to the specific corals but that didn't work out so well. Here are new shots of a few corals that are still faded in color. I will post the same pics with the same camera settings in a couple of weeks.

I have been dosing at night when i get home. I also shut the skimmer off and GFO and carbon off as well.

I have a frag of a pink birds nest that has gotten a nice shade of pink, small frag so its tough to photograph at the moment.

Rich,
Any aminos will darken coral tissue. i use Elos and they are the best! Very concentrated and i only dose 3 drops a week.
Red table looks great!!!

 

[jackson6745]

Wow 3 drops in your big tank?!?! I would need 1/4 drop in this tank

hey rich is that mikes red table? if it is i ran into the faded color also i started dosing the amino from brightwell about 3 weeks ago. and color is starting to darken up i thought i was killing it lol. i will take a pic

 

[mshur]

Yep, only 3 drops plus i dose some other additives.

hey rich here is mine after 3 weeks of the amino dont mind the tips i burnt them my light fell down and was 2 inches above the tank for 3 days. i might clip them off

 

[NYreefNoob]

rich on a tank ur size 1 drop at most, dont seem like crap, but when i was doin vodka and sps mine started to lighten in color, { never have believed the whole sps pastel because of t5's } t5's are pretty much all i have ever used and done mainly sps. i use the korallen zutch amino's, but been thinking of ordering vitimen c , good thread on Rc about it in the lps section

 

[Zuska]

What is the best Amino to use with the safest results these days?

 

[jackson6745]

I don't know if I'm going to continue using this stuff. I am getting serious cyano on my sandbed. That is a problem I haven't had much at all in the past. I think it's time to do a WC and run a little phosban. So my corals will be pastel ...........

 

[Alex]

no problems here but I also have some serious flow in the tank.

I read the vitamin C thread and it seems interesting as a vodka replacement.

 

[jackson6745]

So I have still been using this suiff just at a reduced dosage. I don't know if I see a change, maybe a little It's been over 3 weeks now. You decide. Same camera settings.

Here are pics of the same corals from today (1 pic missing because I moved that coral)

 

[prattreef]

Looks the same to me Rich. Lol.

 

[jackson6745]

LOL...Ok thanks Randy

 

[jerl77]

looks great to me wish i had color like that under my t5s

 

[Bob 1000]

Elos here.. When my phates shot up the colors got real deep though..

 

[ctxmonitor]

Nice experiment Rich.. But really hard to see the difference on pic if not a dramatic change.
