Tagging along I just bought it a few weeks back and started dosing the other day at about half the recommended dosage to start with. Will see if it makes a difference.

This product was created by four years of trial and error testing other "amino" products by Dr. Julian Sprung. I believe it consisted of 20 consumer products and isolated what positive influence, if any, and combine what he liked in one supplement. I have been using it for three weeks with just my two part dosing. I am dosing it as well daily through my dosing pump(7mm daily).
My observations, so far, is that coral DO appear to have better polyp extension. I am noticing a slight color enhancement in some of my smaller colonies.
I am not totally sold on the product yet. I have put faith in the product because Dr. Sprung is behind the R&D. His philosophy has always been keep it simple stupid, so for him to add another task to his weekly tank husbandry routine means something to me as a hobbiest.
Just my two cents.

Wow, so this is basically a good product.
I like to know what all is there as our European and Asian reefer friends are a strong believer in potassium too.
Anything lower than 350 isn't recommended for SPS.

Will see if I can find this Acropower and order myself some to test.

Any negative effects so far? Nuisance algae? Elevated phosphates? Or all good results?

I have been using it for around 4 months. I have noticed better color and PE. I have not noticed any negative effects such as algae. The price is very fair compared to similar products, too.

Where are you guys getting it from? I asked my LFS to order me one and they told me it wasn't commercially available yet.

Tell us your dosing schedule.
You dose only AP or something else too?
Do you use a dosing pump or you do it manually?
