If a fish has spent sufficient time in a retailer’s system to become acclimated to feeding on specific types of foods, it is wise to purchase and feed the same foods to increase the chances that the fish will begin eating shortly after introduction to its’ new surroundings.

These single cell organisms are a food source for other food like copepods. On top of this, corals, filter feeders and fish larva rely on these small green power packs to supply basic organic compounds that must be added to maintain incredible coloration. Phyto may improve water chemistry as phytoplankton naturally consume nitrates and phosphates and then can be removed by your skimmer. It is recommended that phyto is dosed to individual colonies of coral for best results. It can also be dosed to an entire tank to supplement copepod growth.

By adding a single dose of Copper Power once, it will stay at an active level in your aquarium for months. If any of these diseases occur during this time period, Copper Power will begin to fight off the disease in full potency without you even knowing.

These organic particles typically become colonized by various microorganisms (primarily bacteria and protozoans) during their descent towards the sea floor; the decomposition of the organic material by the microorganism “colony” on each particle recycles the nutrients locked up within it. The constant descent of these particles through the water column has the appearance of snow fall, hence the name “marine snow”. While marine snow is primarily associated with productive regions of the open ocean rather than tropical coral reefs, the concept (with some improvements adressing the requirements of reef-building organisms) may be applied to reef aquaria as a means of simultaneously delivering organic and inorganic nutrients to corals and other suspension-feeding invertebrates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrightwell Aquatics Reef Snow effectively replicates the concept of marine snow by combining a “core substrate” of carbonate-bound, non-conservative major, minor, and trace elements (all in aragonite ratios) with marine-derived proteins and fatty acids (all in coral tissue ratios).

While the ratios of amino acids present in coral tissue vary between species, general ratios are approximately maintained, enabling an effective average to be created that will benefit not only stony corals, but also soft corals, solitary, and colonial polyps (e.g. Xenia, Anthelia, Zoanthus, Discoma, Actinodiscus, etc.). The amino acids are present in their most elementary form (”free-form”) rather than being accounted for by their presence in a food or complex nutrient; in this fashion, they are readily available to corals and their allies. The main benefit of this quality is the ease in which corals can assimilate the amino acids into their tissue for the purpose of growth and tissue repair. Secondary benefits of some amino acids are their role in enhancing the coloration of corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCorals maintained under optimal chemical and environmental conditions are able to reproduce (both sexually and asexually) more rapidly when the required nutrients are available. The presence of these free-form amino acids is particularly important to corals that have undergone or will undergo, fragmenting or other means of propagation in which some amount of tissue is damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brightwell","offers":[{"title":"30mL","offer_id":32045097091156,"sku":"810086011384","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"60mL","offer_id":32045097123924,"sku":"810086011391","price":21.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"125mL","offer_id":32045097156692,"sku":"810086011407","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"250mL","offer_id":32045097189460,"sku":"810086010134","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0245\/1727\/9828\/products\/CoralAmino.jpg?v=1585377371"},{"product_id":"boyd-enterprises-chemi-clean-red-cyano-remover-powder","title":"Boyd Enterprises CHEMI CLEAN RED CYANO REMOVER - POWDER","description":"\u003cp\u003eChemi Clean will effectively remove many different stains that can be formed by cyanobacteria (red slime).

If your skimmer is overflowing too fast, you can try restricting the air supply feeding the skimmer and that will decrease the amount of bubbles being formed or simply physically raising the skimmer body will allow for a faster drain and a dryer skimmate to be produced.
