Fauna Marin Amin is a high-purity, liquid amino acid supplement specifically formulated to meet the complex nutritional needs of marine corals and filter feeders. As the essential building blocks of proteins, amino acids are vital for coral tissue expansion, skeletal matrix construction, and vibrant pigment synthesis. In closed reef aquariums, these crucial compounds are rapidly depleted through biological uptake and aggressive protein skimming. Amin provides a balanced, ultra-pure blend of all essential amino acids to accelerate coral growth, intensify coloration, and speed up tissue recovery.
Essential Building Blocks: Supplies pure amino acids that corals cannot synthesize independently, encouraging rapid skeletal development and tissue expansion.
Vivid Coloration: Enhances the production of fluorescent chromoproteins and tissue pigments in both SPS and LPS corals.
Accelerated Recovery: Significantly speeds up tissue repair and healing after fragging, pest damage, or environmental stress.
Triggers Polyp Extension: Establishes a natural feeding response in the water column, prompting corals to extend polyps for maximum nutrient capture.
Ultra-Pure Formulation: Contains no inorganic nitrogen or phosphorus, ensuring coral tissue gets nourished without fueling nuisance green algae growth.
ULNS Essential: Prevents "pale coral syndrome" in Ultra-Low Nutrient Systems where heavy filtration strips out organic nitrogen.
Standard Daily Dose: Add 0.5 ml per 100 Liters (26 US gal) of aquarium volume daily.
Heavily Stocked Reefs: Increase dosage up to 1.0 ml per 100 Liters daily depending on coral density and uptake.
Best Dosing Time: Dose during the "lights-on" phase or shortly before feeding particulate foods when coral metabolic activity and polyp extension peak.
Skimmer Option: Turning off your protein skimmer for 15 to 30 minutes post-dosing increases amino acid dwell time for maximum absorption.
Product Type: Liquid Amino Acid Concentrate
Target Livestock: SPS Corals, LPS Corals, Soft Corals, Filter Feeders
Primary Benefits: Skeletal Construction, Tissue Regeneration, Pigmentation, Polyp Extension
Inorganic Nutrient Impact: Zero Nitrogen/Phosphorus additions
Available Sizes: 250 ml, 500 ml, 1000 ml (1 L)
Q: How do I dose Fauna Marin Amin? A: The standard dosage is 0.5 ml per 100 L (26 US gal) daily. For heavily stocked reef tanks with high SPS density, the dosage can be safely increased up to 1.0 ml per 100 L daily.
Q: When is the best time to dose? A: Dosing during the "lights-on" phase or shortly before feeding particulate foods is most effective, as this is when coral metabolic activity and polyp extension are naturally at their peak.
Q: Should I turn off my protein skimmer when dosing? A: It is not strictly required, but turning off the skimmer for 15 to 30 minutes after dosing increases the dwell time of the amino acids in the water column, allowing corals more time to absorb them.
Q: Can I use this in an Ultra-Low Nutrient System (ULNS)? A: Yes! Amino acid supplementation is critical in ULNS setups where low dissolved organics can cause corals to look pale or starved. Amin restores tissue richness without introducing unwanted nitrates or phosphates.
Aquaforest Plakton Elixir: A liquid coral food and polyp activator that works synergistically with Amin for complete coral nutrition.
Fauna Marin Coral Balance: Helps manage the nutrient cycle and enhances the overall biological stability of the reef display.
BPK Coral Feast Pro: Combine with Amin during target-feeding routines to build a high-protein feed slurry for LPS and SPS corals.
