    I've heard a lot of good things about them in general. I've heard their version of reef snow is actually better.
    I use their version of Kent's TurboCalcium and it works just as well and it's a little cheaper.

    The coral amino is great. We use it at the LFS in a couple of the fishless grow out systems. Even the sun corals will open right up when those drops hit the water.

    Is there a reason you don't use it in systems with fish?

    Fish release amino acids in their waste.But that dont happen in a system where there is no fish.And coral do need the amino acids for their health.So if there is no fish,then you've got to get the nutrients the corals need in there some how.

    so would there be too much amino acids in the water if you added it?

    Not as long as your careful and don't just start pouring the tank full every other day.
    Every animal in the tank will use the amino acids.Corals,inverts,fish,they will all use it,so it'll get used pretty quick.
    I give my tank 5ml of it every other monday.
