Continuum Coral Elements Amino

Continuum Coral Elements Amino  30ml / 60ml

Overview

• Coral Elements Amino is a free form amino acid complex that closely replicates the amino acid profile of hard coral tissue.
• It encourages new coral tissue growth and vibrant coloration, by providing solubilized proteins in a readily absorbable form.
• It is particularly useful for newly fragged corals or those that have been damaged in shipping, injured, grazed upon or that have been subject to bleaching in that it makes the job of nutrient uptake and tissue repair much easier for the animal.
• (However, compromised animals may require medication, other nutrients and special treatment beyond what this product can do. No claims are made that such animals will recover.)
  
  

Directions
Shake well prior to use. Add 1 capful (5 ml) per 200 L of marine aquarium water 2 to 3 times per week, in an area of high flow. This product works wonderfully as a food soak or if added to food soak.

Expert use.
Target feeding is the best method of addition. Use a turkey baster, pipette, or similar tool to release upstream of animals to be fed. Do not touch corals with tool. Do not allow aquarium water to enter the bottle, to do so will introduce bacteria into the product and accelerate its decomposition. Instead, drop or pour appropriate amount of Coral Elements•Amino into a cup and use any tool in the cup. Feed all that you pour and do not return any product to the container (again to prevent contamination).


Use in the marine aquarium
During times of stress or rapid growth, Corals can utilize free form amino acids directly from this product, with minimal digestion required, rather than having to rely on their zooxanthellae alone. It is also useful as a regular regimen to assist in normal growth and coloration. In addition to Coral Elements Amino, it is recommended that you also add Coral Elements N to provide coral specific minerals and vitamins. When using this product as a food, Continuum recommends that the hobbyist vary the types and sizes of foods delivered into the reef aquarium. Also, occasionally blending the foods and using them as soaks for other foods will give your invertebrates a variety simulating nature. Vary the time of day for feeding, as well, being sure to feed at night for those organisms that primarily feed nocturnally. Many corals feed primarily at night, extending their tentacles and mesenterial filaments, using their nematocysts to capture prey, and entrapping prey on their sticky tentacles with mucus and drawing it into their mouths.


Caution
Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption. Contains coral food, if ingested drink water. If in eyes flush with water.
