It seems people have positive results with it, I have been using it for a few months and can’t say definitely that I’ve seen any noticeable differences in my tank. I would go slow with it and don’t overdose as it can cause undesirable algae growth.

I have no experience with the Red Sea product. However, I started using the BW aminos about a month ago and I can say that I have seen increased extension and coloration in my LPS corals.

I have used B.W. aminos off and on for about a year. Definitely a prettier tank with vs. without it. I've never tried Reef Energy though, so can't compare.

I use the Red Sea a+b. Is that the one you’re talking about? If so, any reason as to why you’d switch?

I had been using red sea energy for about two years only because i mainly use R.S. products. The only reason i wated to try brighwell aminos is because i saw the video on worldwidecorals by reef builders. The guy said they had tried every other aminos and only saw am actual reaction from the brighwel version.
i must admit that after two years of using red sead reef energy i was starting to wonder if i really needed it or not. It only seemed to make a difference when nitrate and phosphate levels were at 0.
