Corals spend energy for respiration, mucus production, growth and reproduction. Research has shown that the total energy demand cannot be met by photosynthesis alone. If we also consider that through highly efficient protein skimming and fine mechanical filtration we clear almost all organic molecules and particulate matter from our systems, we immediately realize that the availability of nourishment inside our aquarium often becomes one of the limiting factor for the growth of our corals.

If we want to supply our corals the additional energy they needs to survive and, even better, flourish, we must offer them nourishment via a multitude of sources like amino acids, zooplankton and, in general DOM (dissolved organic matter) that they transport through cell membranes.

ELOS Pro Skimmer supplies complex carbohydrates which provide an immediate source of energy for cellular respiration as well an important energy source beneficial for a faster biosynthesis of amino acids. Useful in recreating the water conditions in and around natural coral reefs, used in conjunction with Elos OMEGA it will help to significantly reduce the need of live food and DOM, a key step toward the reduction of the level of dissolved organics and also nitrogenous waste inside modern SPS populated aquaria.
