ReefStar Amino Acids

The amino acids are the basis of all life. They are the building blocks of protein without which no life can develop. Aminos consists principally of essential amino acids, which the organism cannot build by itself and hence must be absorbed with the food.

ReefStar Aminos stimulates the growth of coral polyps. By enlarging the tissue surface, they are in a much better position to absorb hardness constituents and trace elements from the water, causing the corals to grow faster and to develop robust tissues and intensive colours; in short, to be healthy. Aminos enables weak corals to regenerate quickly.
Mussels reveal an increased, clearly distinguished augmentation of colour, and Aminos assist in the effective care of your invertebrates.

A new generation of amino acids are available with Aminos: highly concentrated with a dosage of only one drop per 100 litres, purest quality raw materials, no slushy algae formation, a newly developed composition, an improved storage in violet glass bottle that minimises quality loss, a plain product with specifications of the ingredients, already tested many times independently, and publicly accessible firsthand reports.

Purity

Impurities or poor quality of raw materials can foster an undesirable growth of algae or, in the worst case, its accumulation in your aquarium and lead to substantial problems. Therefore we exclusively use raw materials of the purest quality for the manufacture, which is the best qual-ity one can get. We do not use raw materials of technical, food or pharmaceutical quality, because these can constitute impurities up to 5% of the total weight. Moreover, the water used is of the highest purity with a guide value of approximately 0.06 µS/cm. Aminos does not contain any chelators, chemical additives and scents.

Ingredients

Aminos contains 16 different amino acids:

Alanine, arginine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, taurine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, valine and natural preservatives.

Dosage:

1 drop daily per 100 litres of aquarium water.
As Aminos is highly concentrated, it is advised to start with a half dose and slowly increase it to the recommended dosage.
It is advisable to use Aminos after the lighting phase.

Usage examples are based on the volume of the aquarium:

	100 Litres	400 Litres	800 Litres	1.600 Litres
Drops per day	1	4	8	16
Drops per month	30	120	240	480
Millilitres per month	3	6	12	24
Recommended bottle size	20ml	20ml	50ml	100ml
For more than	6 months	3 months	4 months	4 months

Risks and adverse effects

Through Aminos, your corals obtain valuable energy essential for their growth. When an increased coral growth is determined, it is absolutely necessary to monitor the carbonate hardness, calcium, magnesium, strontium and iodine, because these get exhausted by the increased growth and should be additionally dosed.
For additional dosage, the trace elements and elemental iodine of ReefStar and macro elements of OceanStar are recommended.

Storage and storage life

After breaking the seal, the bottle should be stored in the refrigerator. To avoid impurity through bacteria, you should take care not to touch the dropper with fingers, or to bring it in contact with the aquarium water. After opening the bottle, Aminos can be preserved for at least 3 months. After the expiry date, unpleasant odour and clouding may occur. Please do not use Aminos after that. Please avoid heat and frost while in storage. The recommended storage temperature is 4-6°C.

Why the violet glass bottles?

Most aquarium products are packed in conventional glass or plastic bottles. Transmission measurements (measurements of the light transfer) show clearly that brown glass allows visible light to pass through and provides only sufficient protection.

Blue and green glass show similar results; both allow the whole light spectrum to pass through. All the different frequencies cause a frequency chaos in the glass bottles, which can speed up the degradation process. Plastic containers are porous compared to glass and allow in oxygen. Many agents can lose their effect and potency through oxidation.

Violet glass offers not only absolute light protection in visible area, but moreover a desired transmissibility in both the ultraviolet range (UV-A) and the infrared range as well. According to the laws of quantum physics (developed by Max Plank), light with a high frequency contains a larger energy quantum than light with a low frequency.

The secret of the violet glass is its ability to filter out the damaging range of light. The protective effect of violet glass was confirmed already in 1996 through the bio-photon measurements by Dr. Hugo Niggli in the Institute of Biophysics under Prof. Fritz Popp.

A further series of tests conducted in 1997 at the institute of Dr. Dieter Knapp impressively confirmed the effectivity of violet glass:

One can clearly observe the high energy loss of globules stored inside brown glass when exposed to the sun (Image A). After only 36 days, an apparent loss is observed compared to the storage in the original violet glass (Image B).

Quality assurance

Aminos is produced in small quantities according to requirement, in order to avoid storing it for the maximum time periods. Thereby, Aminos is always fresh when it leaves ReefStar, even though unopened Aminos has a storage life of minimum nine months.
Every bottle carries a sealing ring, which guarantees that you have acquired a product that has left the ReefStar company in the original condition. Thus you have the guarantee that the bottle has neither been contaminated nor opened beforehand, and therewith the storage life of three months is guaranteed after you open the bottle.

Warning

Not suitable for consumption! Keep it out of reach of children! Not to be fed to animals that would be utilised for food.
