As a reef keeper who's tried countless coral supplements, I can confidently say Brightwell's CoralAmino is a game-changer. The moment I started using it, my SPS corals extended their polyps like they were at an all-you-can-eat buffet!

The packaging is sturdy (no leaks during shipping), and that tiny 1oz bottle lasts surprisingly long. I use about 3ml weekly in my 50-gallon mixed reef - just enough to see my zoas double in number within two months while keeping nuisance algae at bay.

What blows my mind? My hammer coral split into FOUR new heads within weeks! The color enhancement is no marketing gimmick either - my acans developed richer reds, and the candy cane coral started budding new heads like popcorn.

Pro tip from experience: Use a turkey baster for target feeding. Watching corals immediately react by extending feeders is downright magical. But heed the warnings - this stuff is potent! Overdosing once caused my leather coral to shed its mucus coat (it recovered after water changes).

The only downside? At $20+ per ounce, it stings the wallet compared to competitors like Red Sea AB+. But when my $300 torch coral colony shows 30% growth in three months? That's ROI even my accountant would approve.

For nano reef owners especially - this product shines. My friend's 10-gallon saw visible polyp extension in her blastos within 48 hours. Just remember: slow and steady wins the race with amino acids.
