Itself, the speech is just unfortunately I did the I move of my bath from little, and therefore was measuring out alone simple pappone. ......non I did no other test, displeases me...

Well I got back into the US last night and I think I'm over the jetlag a bit so here we go:
Pito: Yeah this is mainly a coral food considering the particle size. I'll try to find out what they prefer to feed fish, but generally I think our feeding practices here for fish are really good (mysis, formula 1, etc.). But the food does end up feeding all the other animals in the tank (pods, etc.)
Everyone: As for the name of this food, refer to it in the Italian word "Pappone" since it was an Italian invention. There is no need to translate it (enough of our language has gone into theirs--it's only fair!)
I also found out that there really is no need to do the "boosting" of the tank params--some people do, some people don't and it really is up to you depending how adventerous you are. The primary thing (as always) is to manage your PO4 and NO3 levels during this.

Hi all,
written earlier in thread: "You have to stop the skimmer for 2 hours after this though, but leave circulation pumps on of course."
I have two cannister filters with carbon and chemi-pure running at about 700gph each. When I put in the seafood pappone afte the lights go out, should I turn off the cannister filters? If so, how long would you recommend?
Thanks,
Paul

Is everyone feeding the coral food mix to their tanks at night? I'm asking because I've been reading this thread about doseing sugar, and it saise that the type of bacteria that grows from sugar use will use up some oxygen in your tank. Knowing that oxygen levels in the tank can already be low at night, I thought it might be a problem.

I feed at night, just leave the skimmer running, take the collection cup off. That will help to keep the O2 levels up.

Maybe it would be better to dose the sugar by itself during the day?

I put the sugar in the food when making the recipe and then froze it. That is what the recipe called for. That way it can bind with the bacterias.....

Hi,
So no need to worry about turning off carbon or our cannister filters? Skimmer 2 hours ok.
thx,
Paul

I just leave skimmer cup off till next morning. I myself do not turn off carbon.
Sir, Solbby or other Bio-geeks reading this,
I was thinking about this Aspartic acid thing this past week and thought of two areas where Asp might be active in calcium growth. First, and most likely, There is a paper that suggests that Asp stabilizes CaCO3 in solution at levels above super-saturation. The concentration of Asp was pretty high in the experiments. Corals may take advantage of this and use high concentrations of Asp in areas of active Ca deposition.
Alternatively, I was remembering my biochem the other day and thought that Asp might be used in generating energy for Ca depositon. In this scenario, Asp might be deaminated to oxaloacetate for use in the Kreb's cycle (similar to Alanine and pyruvate)? This would point to the effect of Asp in energy availability. If this is true, dosing oxaloacetate or even pyruvate might have the same effects.
Ciao
