Aquaforest AF Amino Mix
An essential treatment for marine aquariums, especially for Ultra Low Nutrient Systems (ULNS). This treatment contains concentrated amino acids, one of the main sources of energy for all types of corals and filter feeders. It accelerates metabolism, and aids growth as well as vitality. In natural coral reefs, the concentration of total amino acids is low. It fluctuates between 200-500 nmol/l. However, the latest scientific research proves that coral can adsorb up to 7 times more amino acids depending on availability. Amino acids are very easily removed by skimming process, ozone or granulated carbon. Regular dosing is highly recommended.
Dosing
1 drop for 100l (27 US gal.) every other day when the light is off.

I’ve been using Amino Mix in my reef tank for three months now. My polyps have become more active and my corals are growing steadily. The dosing is simple and the effect is noticeable after a few weeks. I do have to remember to dose it when the lights are off, but it’s easy to track.

The product works well in my ULNS setup. I noticed a difference in coral color and vitality after consistent use. I’ve had to adjust my skimming schedule slightly to prevent over-removal of amino acids.

This is a reliable supplement for maintaining coral health. I use it every other day as recommended and have seen improved growth in my soft corals. It’s a small amount, but the impact is clear.
