Is anyone considering Pappone?

[redbug1]

Tell us about your experience and husbandry as well as tank and so forth.

Well my tank is a 150 with a deltec ap702, 3x250 watt xm 10k w/ 280 watt actinic vho, mtc pro cal calcium reactor. i kepp my alk at 11 and ph around 8, also i keep my cal at 420. all parameters are consistent and my ph peaks at 8.1 during the afternoon.I dose AA an hour after my lights go off then i feed the pappone 45 minutes later. i saw results in about 2 weeks. Before starting the pappone i purchase 10 LE frags from foster and smith and those frags are all tripled in size in the past 3 months i will post pics later today

Im just tossing in my 2 cents here. but in this pappone food if you add regular amino acids from the drug store you can have a similar effect as hgh steroids. go to the drug store and pick up L-Arginine about 1500mg/day of this stimulates natural hgh in all forms of living creatures. you might also want to include some L-Orthinine(500mg/day) to help boost it.


**those mg's are for a human body mass I dont know how they would compare to corals.... ?

redbug1, beautiful, healthy and incredible growth.
How big is your tank? How much pappone and how often? also to handle the bioload, what skimmer do you have?

 

[redbug1]

my tank is 150 gallons. i use half of an ice cube 3 tiems weekly. my skimmer however is oversized for my tank i use a deltec ap702 which is rated for a tank much larger.

 

[Fish2reef]

An oversized or very efficient skimmer seems to be one of the most important factors for success, balancing your systems ability to handle the added nutrient input to the skimmers ability to export.
