Dr Ron,
In your article you bring up the amino acids as the building blocks of animal and cell tissue. Coincidently, I had an opportunity to discuss the use of natural seawater vs artificial seawater with one of the lead aquarists at the Mote Aquarium in sarasota, Fl. Their experience is that local seawater carries the risk of cryptocarion and nuisance algae. However he feels that artificial seawater is missing the amino acids necessary for maximum coral growth/health. Comment on that opinion ? If natural seawater has these amino acids is there a way to treat natural seawater that eliminates the risks without destroying the available amino acids?
