    A little reading: Blue Coral Method

    Hey folks, how goes it? Boy leave you guys alone for one day and you tear the house up. I don't know what I'm going to do with you kids....:D First I'm NO SCIENTIST. With that said. Hgh- human growth hormone- It is NOT the hormone per say that has anything to do with the growth. From what I...

    Recommended only. You don't want to overdose. Same with the feeding, follow the instructions to the T. Try not to substitute anything if you can help it.

    Using AA's twice a week. Added the L Glutamine in with the recipe. I dose Reefplus AA's about 2 hrs. before lights out and feed right at or just before lights out.

    The Light method is what I'm using. The HGH is not necessary. It was/is used because of the several different Amino Acids in the hgh. I use L Glutamine AA's. I can tell you it works great. Good growth and color. The AA's are the key to the recipe. The recipe is high source of protiens. My growth...

    Getting a new bulb/ballast, advice needed
