How often are you dosing Elos amino acids??

[Bob 1000]

I'm currently dosing because my phosphates are between 0 and 0.02 based on how I fed the day before I need to make sure I don't loose color on my sps.. They have only been at 0 for a couple of weeks now and the tank doesn't look like o level phosphates I still have my green back wall and some spots on the floor... I started dosing Elos because I was told they were the best to use.. This stuff smells like WHOA,,lol..:chefico:

Please don't make this a thread about a 0 phosphate level.. My denitrifier is the best and that's it.. Please stick to the topic..

i dont use elos but i dose fauna amino nightly of 2 drops

 

[nanoreefer22]

Im using fauna marin ultra mins, dosing .2ml every morning. Lights don't come on til 5:30PM so the tank has enough time to utilize it.

 

[Bob 1000]

So your dosing in the night cycle...

 

[NYreefNoob]

yes you need to for aminos

 

[merfin70]

Two drops of KZ Concentrated Aminos nightly after lights out.

 

[Bob 1000]

What size are you guys systems( total water volume)??

 

[nanoreefer22]

My total water is probably around 35 gallons

 

[Bob 1000]

Oh okay because my elos say's about 1 to 3 drops per 26 gallons what do you guy's think I should be starting with?? I started with 1 drop per 25 gallons..

 

[merfin70]

I have about 35 gallons total as well. I started with 50% of the recommended dosage for the first week or so and worked my way up. If you see the beginnings of an algae issue, back off immediately.

 

[nanoreefer22]

Maybe you could start with 1drop per 50gallons for a week and then move up slowly from there, to 1 drop per 25 gallons and see how the tank responds after a week or two.

I use amino acids everyday.....zeovit product....

 

[Bob 1000]

Have you guys seen a difference in coral colors with aminos??

 

[nanoreefer22]

I noticed my colors got darker. They were very light before with just dosing vodka. Now they're much nicer, but that could be attributed to adding a fish or feeding a lot more.

 

[Bob 1000]

Deeper or darker?? I ask this because on the label it say's if the colors get darker discontinue use for a while on the label of my Elos aminos..

 

[nanoreefer22]

Whats the difference?

Deeper = more pop?

Darker = more brown?

 

[Bob 1000]

I thought darker meant brown???

 

[nanoreefer22]

Well then I change my darker to deeper

 

[Bob 1000]

I figured that's what you meant but just wanted clarification, thanks.. I dosed again last night and it seems like my red planet glows more red than green now under blue leds..

I use the Elos in 2 different reefs and on my 180 gallon i have seen the colors become more rich (green and browns on the monti caps are more present and clear than faded) so i started using it at home. I use about 2 drops per 25 gallons of both Elos Omega and Elos Pro Skimmer. Haven't had any bad experiences with them yet and i dose at different times about once a week sometimes twice. Oh and my other reef is a 75 gallon.My red planet is more of a maroon polyp on pink base as of now also!
