Ultra Clam review thread

[Skimmerking]

Ok i thinkI have this sorted out with the stuff pretty easy.
Dec 24- dosed 2 ml of Ammino Acid. first thing
made up some paste, ultra min clam food sucked out the blue liquid then dosed a bit in the tank. im only using around 1 ml every time I feed thou I dont want to over feed.
Dec 25 dosed Ammino Acids again
and fed 2 times with the clam food.
Dec 26 same thing. Noticed that hte huge Squamosa has a brighter color today , may be its just me.
Dec 27 going to take some pictures of the clams and the sps with their PE
on my Bule tip stag the PE is crazy to.

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?

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.

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

ok 29Dec
dosing the amino 's in the morning and the afternoon all seems great so far the clams that i had doubt's about are coming along very nicely. will get pictures to follow when i cant get some good feeding pictures too..

the clam food it starting to work, IMO the colors on some of my clams are showing great finally. the squamosa is looking deeper in color......

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
