not every aquarist has access to their AA concentration/specification count.
in other words. its meaningless.
if you chuck x ounces of AA in your glass cauldron, how much percentage did you increase it by?
dirty tanks. maybe 5%. clean tanks by 100%?
not scientific at all.
Why do you think that knowledge that corals can take up free amino acids is meaningless?
If it wasn't known, or was known to be untrue, you'd surely be stating that as an objection.
Do you have to know the iron concentration before dosing to know that dosing it is useful for some organisms? I'm sure I don't. It is known to be taken up and the effects are readily observed in some cases.
