Is there a way to speed growth?

[billaweed]

I know lighting is a key element, along with perameters, and feeding, but is there anything else you can do to speed up the growth rate in sps and lps without the chance of killing them off? Just curious. This may be a waste of forum effort but what the heck.

The BluCoral method is a way of feeding your sps corals or any corals for that matter. It contains fresh seafood and sugar and L-Glutamine. This is not any of the HGH that some think. I have been using it for close to 8 weeks now and my sps have easily doubled. The recipe does need to be made and frozen in fish food tray cubes and used weekly.

Of course all water params must be in synch or this feeding does no good but cause nusiance algae.

hi SueT,
Amino Acids really helps

its pretty much feeding steroids to your corals.

turn my wimpy little girly corals into big manly ripped corals. (*sounds better if impersonating the Terminator)

angelfish, yes, amino acids in the form of Reef Plus, which I use is necessary 2-2.5 hours before the BluCoral feeding should be done. Any AA is fine but it should be used before feeding.

There is no steroid involved in this method.

To me there is no trouble in doing this. All you do is make the food, freeze it and when feeding, add AA's and then melt food and take skimmer cup off while leaving the skimmer running to keep the oxygen level up in the tank. Replace cup the next morning.
