- Designing Experiments to Understand Amino Acids in Reef Tanks
Other Amino Acids In addition to the standard 20, marine environments and organisms contain other, less common amino acids: Selenocysteine and pyrrolysine are sometimes referred to as the 21st and 22nd proteinogenic amino acids, found in certain organisms across different environments, including marine microbes

Amino acids can worsen dinoflagellates issues Adding extra fish If your tank has the extra room, increasing the fish load can be a satisfying way to increase nutrients while simultaneously adding more activity and inhabitants If you don’t have many fish, adding excess food without consumption will increase the carbon and organic waste input
- Amino Acid Dosing—which brand should I use? | Reef2Reef
While I have made many positive changes to my aquarium so far, I’m always looking for more ways to improve coral health and growth, and one that I know many people use is amino acid dosing I’m curious as to the benefits of doing so, aside from being another nutrient source for the corals
- DIY Amino Acid Dosing | Reef2Reef
Eight amino acids normally considered essential for animals were made by the five corals tested, although some of them were made only in small quantities These eight amino acids are valine, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine histidine, methionine and lysine
- Half-life of amino acids in the reef aquarium | Reef2Reef
Different amino acids, different stability Although the overall trend is the same, the exact half-life differs between amino acids (15–30 min in this trial) This suggests that some are used or removed more quickly than others Your tank already has background amino acids Even before dosing, we found measurable concentrations

On top of this, zooxanthellae can also absorb amino acids as a source of nitrogen, which can be used to create biomolecules which get transferred to the coral and used for growth
- Best Amino Acid Supplement | Reef2Reef
What would be the best Amino Acid Supplement for coloration, growth, tissue regeneration, and overall health of the coral?
- Amino acids? | Reef2Reef
Amino acids aren't the most ideal nitrogen source for this purpose They come with some carbon atoms and maybe other things attached which seem to favor the presence of cyanobacteria at least as much as they favor coral health
