I dose 2ml of acro power a night, haven’t gotten any reactions from acros besides color loss on green slimes though
Params are all fine
Ca:460
Mg:1420
Alk:around 9
Salinity:1.026
Nitrates are pushing 10
 
I'd generally say just follow the bottle instructions, it usually tells you how much per day per tank volume. I use brightwell coral aminos in my frag system and can't truly say how much or if it helps, but my SPS are growing great there with vibrant colors, so I just keep feeding the beast...
 
I would watch your acros response in the first 10 days. If they are unhappy with the change, they will tell you. If you notice positive signs then slowly increase. I don't dose aminos, as I feel this can contribute to negative bacteria populations growing, although that is just anecdotal, this has been my experience.
