Amino Acids and Their Benefit in a Reef Tank


Amino Acids and Their Benefit in a Reef Tank

Amino Acids are quickly becoming one of the most popular additives to any serious reef keeper’s arsenal. There are many different reasons why they are being used and many why I suggest everyone should use them. Many vitamins and proteins are including in one easy dosing supplement to provide your corals with much needed elements they would not otherwise get in a closed aquarium environment.

In Nature corals will receive these proteins via plankton, micro plankton or even bacterial plankton. However in a close aquarium environment these are normally absent. Zooxanthellae which live symbiotically in many corals “excrete” these acids which in turn feed the coral along with many other substances. In most aquariums the activity of these symbiotic algaes are greatly reduced in which the corals are only “Surviving” and not “Thriving”.

Indirect and Direct feeding’s are generally not the best method to approach feeding your corals as it generally results in increased nutrient levels such as phosphates and nitrates. This is where the Amino acids come in handy. By dosing high quality products such as Zeovit Amino acid concentrates you are introducing the correct proportions of amino acids found in coral skeletons. This is helping to create the natural living conditions found in a wild living coral reef.

Higher end amino acids on the market are supplying up to 17 important amino acids essential to stony coral growth. These supplements also help coral utilize the absorption of calcium seen in their natural environment and increasing your coral growth in the aquarium. From our experience you will also notice increased polyp extension during their “daylight” hours.

There are many options on the market for amino acids but really there are only a few that aren’t using preservatives which decrease the quality of the product. Some are Zeovit Amino Acid Concentrate, Zeovit Amino Acid Concentrate for LPS. Elos OMGEA and Selcon.

Zeovit Zeozym


As many of you may know by now Zeozym is one of the newest products from zeovit. This product has been very popular since its release and I'm including some details about it and other peoples thoughts in this post.

Zeozym is another supplemental product that actually in a powder like form opposed to most of the other liquid zeovit products. Its may purpose is an "Enzyme-based biological stimulant to promote increased bacterial metabolism". Essentially this product is made to Amplifies the effect of ZEObak, prevent cyno bateria, ehance skimming performance and rid your aquarium of other unwanted substances.

Those are a few of the main purposes of this product but others have also experience cleaner sand, brown to bright white. Increased polyp extension, as well as decreased film from that some other products produce.

According to Mr. Phol he recommends "The dosing schedule he proposed was 3 teaspoons on 1 liter aqua water ( per 1000 liter ) for the first day and after that 1 teaspoon on 1 liter ( per 1000 liter ) for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th day. After the first week 2 times a week 1 teaspoon per 1000 liter."

There is a great thread for new users on the zeovit forums as well.
