As expected it does not take too long to get results from this stuff

Ok looks like we have two reviews in one here so will break them down seperate so not to confuse.

First the Ultra Clam - You are doing everything right, and the colouration you are seeing is not your imagination. Some mixing advise obtained from the big Clam keepers over the boarder, they mix the goo up, leave for 24 hours and then mix the surface residue back in, this makes a stronger mix and also gives even better results, so if you have been dont drain this off, just mix back in. You can make up sausage like amounts and freeze into feeding portions and defrost on use. I would stick to the amount you are feeding for now and just keep a close eye. You will know if you are over feeding as your nutrients will rise. As for the filter sock, if possible divert for 2 hours after feeding, if not, I am sure it will not have much of a negative effect.

Now the MinS - MinS is the first nutrient building block for the ultra Lith System, (Faunas Low nutrient system). As it is a strong amino supplement any tank fed with this will see big differences in polyp extension and also growth, colouration also to a degree, although the Ultra Amin and power traces provide higher colouration. Things to note when using MinS on its own is just nutrient levels, as you have not increased your bacterial activity to cater for this big positive shock, so again watch the levels and keep in mind you already are putting MinS in the system with the Ultra Clam.

Photos welcome.

Just one question. Can I dose the Ammino 2 times per day say 1.5ml in the morning and 1.5 ml in the evening?
What happnens when you dose to much ammino acids to the tank.
Oh ya does the filter sock have anything negitive effects on the tank wil it catch all the food?


HI

Yes you can dose it twice a day
and if you dose to much you will get a bacterial bloom greenish white on you glasses. If oyu add more then you see your corals turn into brownish coloration.

No the particles are to fine to catch by an filtersock

This is great, a real testimant to the product doing exactly what it is supposed to.

You will continue to see improved results over the next two weeks and then stabilisation in colour from then on as well as long term increased growth rates.

If you want to really get the SPS to colour pop then consider the Ultra Amin and Power traces to go with the MinS

Just need photos now

Ok I have been dosing and mixing the ultra Min S with the clam food in the morning and night time i find feeding in the early morning and late at night the clams have been really enjoying thier food. I have been seeing more colors in the clams and some of the sps are coloring up more everyday some of the acros are showing Huge PE too. I will focus on the Acros next week getting some better shots.
the pictures are from BEFORE and AFTER the TRIAL.

and here is the lips of Big Bertha and look at my purple tip milli to what PE i have now
and look at this Milli


and here is my turbina too

and here


i think there is results Im liking it too..
Mike if there is any other stuff you want me to start trailing for ya ,well you know what to do Pm and i will gladly start it for ya ...

For the record, I'm not one for doing my corals with food , but this stuff is freaking amazing...... if you can get some stuff wow so far in the past 10 days the corals are coloring up IE SPS, and CLAMS, i will post some more here in a couple of days to get the best pictures out for you guys and gals to see the difference.
