Product Information

Full details

Aquaforest Polyp-Up is designed for reef hobbyists looking to enhance the vitality and growth of their SPS corals. By delivering a concentrated blend of essential fatty acids, amino acids, and antioxidants, this supplement promotes improved polyp extension and stronger natural defenses, making it an ideal choice for maintaining a thriving reef environment; however, users must exercise caution with dosing to avoid nutrient spikes in systems with lower biological filtration.

FAQs

Is Polyp-Up safe for LPS corals?

While specifically formulated for SPS, the nutritional benefits can be supportive of many coral types; however, always observe your tank's reaction when adding new supplements.

How often should I use this supplement?

Follow the specific dosing instructions on the bottle, starting with a conservative amount to see how your specific system responds.

Does this replace coral food?

No, Polyp-Up is a supplement designed to support metabolism and health, not a complete substitute for targeted coral feeding.

Can I use this with an automatic dosing pump?

Yes, it is compatible with most dosing systems, but ensure the lines are kept clean to prevent clogging from the concentrated nutrients.

Do I need to turn off my protein skimmer?

It is not required to turn off the skimmer, though some users choose to turn it off for 15-30 minutes to allow the coral to absorb the nutrients.

Troubleshooting

Visible increase in algae growth

Reduce the dosage amount or frequency, as excessive nutrients can trigger algal blooms.

Corals not showing increased polyp extension

Verify that your lighting and water flow are appropriate for the coral species and ensure water quality (NO3/PO4) is within optimal ranges.

Cloudy water after dosing

This may indicate over-dosing. Reduce the amount used and ensure it is added to a high-flow area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves polyp extension for better feeding response
  • Rich in essential fatty acids and amino acids
  • Protects coral tissue during stressful events like fragging
  • Easy to dose into existing reef supplementation routines

Cons

  • Requires careful measurement to prevent water quality issues
  • May impact nitrate and phosphate levels if overdosed
  • Not intended as a primary food source, must be used as a supplement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using Aquaforest Polyp-Up, ensure your tank water parameters (alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium) are stable. The product should be added directly into the aquarium in an area of high water flow to ensure proper dispersion. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the vitamins and fatty acids. It is highly recommended to monitor phosphate and nitrate levels frequently when first incorporating this supplement into your routine to ensure your biological filtration is handling the input effectively.
