How many of you supplement your sps with amino acids? If so what do you use.

I do every time I feed my tank frozen foods. They contain amino acid so I really see no point in dosing it specifically.
 
i been dosing red sea reef energy for past month. I havnt really noticed much difference. I just ordered a bottle of Acropower and switch to that and see how it does compared to the reef energy

I find Red Sea reef energy to be the best for my tank. I did use acro power but really only ended up with good PE.
 
What kind of dosing are you doing with the reef energy. How much per day are you dosing and what size tank and what are your nitrate levels?
 
I'm still using Acro Power but once that's gone I need to use up a sealed bottle of ELOS I have.

I have had good results with both
 
I dose 16mls of A+B daily. I thought it would be a little much but so far so good. I also run No3po4x at 4mls a day with my nitrates around 0.25 and phosphates around 0.04.

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
