This supplement is designed to boost the growth of corals through the supply of vital amino acids as found in areas around coral reefs in the wild. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins within all living creatures and they play an extremely important part in metabolism and nutritional needs within corals.

In particular, this solution focuses on amino acids that allow corals (and especially SPS corals) to metabolise quicker and thus increase their growing speed. If a coral is healthy and looking well then this can give them a boost to their growth rate. The best way that we can describe this product is like anabolic steroids for corals! Korallen Zucht claim it can increase growth by as much as two times and although we can?t comment on the exact rate, we have seen our own SPS corals grow much quicker since beginning to add this to our systems.

As far as dosing is concerned, Korallen Zucht recommends daily additions at a rate of 1 drop per 100 litres to the system. In our experience this is a little too often and whilst the corals are not harmed by this, they do tend to brown a little and in some cases grow so fast that they become brittle in the short term as their calcium skeletons strive to keep up. For that reason we recommend dosing once every 2-3 days, but it is a case of trying different regimes on this one to see what works best for you.
