I have narrowed my coral food options down to Coral Frenzy or Reef Chili.
But was also wondering if anyone had any experience with Acropower. Thanks!

The only difference I ever noticed in using any of those products was cyano. I've never used acropower but have used the other three previously listed


Bump.

A-power had good reviews on Reefbuilders.
Now if reefers just stick with some additives for a while it will pay off.
I use ZEO and have no complains what so ever, have no desire to use something else too.
And before ZEO I was using Good'oll Fish PooP, and my corals were awesome looking too.

Yea, the Reefbuilders review was killer. Curious to know if anyone else has used it myself.

My fish guy, just told us about this and he has been using for almost a month now. He is seeing a lot of grown and vibrant coloring. Tips are going out faster and he is amazed at the growth.

We are gonna try it.

My thoughts are you have to be careful with all these coral foods as they can raise your nutrient level. When this happens you will see a out break of nuisance algae's Start out with half the dosages they recommend and watch your tank for nuisance algae before going to full dose..

I have been dosing acro power for a little over a month, not quite the full recommended dose and I dose it daily. The color on most of my coral is better but nothing seems to be growing any faster. I am satisfied so far

I have been using acro power for about a month as well, cutting back due to some cyno, but so far I've seen increased growth on almost everything, zoas, lps and sps alike

I used acropower for a few months. While using it I can say that my acros seemed to have better pe, and a little bit better color and growth. But the cyano kicked in and I couldn't get rid of it while using acropower. Not long after I stopped using the product I was able to get the cyano to disappear. I have also used reef chili and oyster feast. The acros also responded to both of those well also. Just watch it, because over doing it with either of those can cause your nutrient levels to spike

Is this not something different than oyster feast or reef chilli? I use this and oyster feast but probably shouldn't if they're doing the same thing.

Yeah. The only one I have tried is Fuel. I like Acropower a lot better. I don't dose methodically with it. Just give a couple of squirts a couple times a week, whenever I think about it. I have noticed better color and growth since I started. Well worth it IMO.
