Elos Pro Skimmer (Complex Carbohydrate Formula)
Elos Pro Skimmer is a complex carbohydrate formula based on pure carbohydrate sources designed to reproduce the suspended colloidal matter found in natural seawater in a highly bio-available formula. Does not contain phosphate based preservatives. Ideal for Soft, LPS and SPS corals. To recreate conditions in a healthy natural coral reef this product is best used with Elos Omega which will significantly reduce the need for live food and DOM (Dissolved Organic Matter). This is a key step in the reduction of dissolved organics and nitrogenous waste in a heavily stocked SPS aquarium.
Elos Omega (Amino Acid)
Elos Omega was the first amino acid integrator available to the market. Does not contain phosphate based preservatives. Normally amino acids are supplied to corals by feeding on plankton, bacterial plankton and “micro†plankton that is usually absent in an aquarium. Amino acids are also supplied by the zooxantellae, mono-cellular algae, which is included in the endoderm cells of the corals and lives symbiotically with many coral species. This provides the coral with glycerin, amino acids and carbohydrates. Unfortunately in some aquariums this activity is reduced, sometimes intentionally. In our original studies we observed that the use of selected amino acids and vitamins is a much more effective and convenient way of replicating the function of zoo-plankton in the aquarium. Certain corals, mainly SPS, respond very quickly to the combination of Omega and Pro Skimmer.
Elos SvC (Plankton Supplement)
Contains a multitude of organic nutrients, as well as vitamins and other benefical ingredients including omega 3, omega 6 oils selenium, anti-oxidants, etc. Ideally suited for “target feeding†with a pippette filter feeders, soft corals and LPS.
