What would be the best Amino Acid Supplement for coloration, growth, tissue regeneration, and overall health of the coral?

I’ve been using Red Sea A&B and have seen significant difference in my Zoas, chalice & finger leather. Dose according to box 5-times a week. Do not notice nutrient spike or anything. That’s me personally

It’s pretty debatable whether amino acids do actually help with any of the things you’ve listed. Acro Power is the one I’ve used that you can get over there. I currently on and off use a U.K. based company which I don’t believe you can get but I’m not convinced it does anything.

Unless there is a scientific study available reviewing and confirming which is best, then its just a matter of opinion and personal preference. I've used amino's on and off over the years, and as mentioned above, I don't know whether it actually does anything.

One of the clearest situations where amino acid dosing could be useful is when nitrogen is low (that is, insufficient sources of ammonia, and possibly nitrate).

Thus, folks should be wary that an effect observed in one tank (say, an observed benefit), may not be reproduced in another tank (say, nothing observed) if the two tanks have different relative availabilities of ammonia and maybe nitrate.

I have been thinking about doing a thread on
“ what works” vs
“What sells” …
These are two different variables which leads to SKU bloat along product lines like Britewell for example…

I have myself purchased a couple of Amino products along with some “bacterial” stuff…
NEITHER line of products have lent solid proof of effectiveness by any study Im aware of
