Hello All,

I inherited a bunch of browned-out acorpora. What is the best way to get them back to their original, healthy colors? I thought about giving amino acids a try, but not sure which is the best for the problem I'm facing. I spoke with Bulk Reef Supply and they recommended two different amino acids - see poll. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
I think none , just low nitrates and good lighting/flow will be enough

Never dosed any amino's to my tank. Good light, decent flow, decent nutrient levels, and above all else STABILITY.
 
I've voted for None. I used to dose AcroPower but have stopped the last 6mos+ - no changes in coloration on my tank. I've observed better coloration with lower Alk (~8 dKH) vs 9ish and visually couldn't tell the difference in terms of growth.
