Any AA will give you great PE on your corals.
IMO corals think there is a great amount of food in the tank and for that PE will come out.

ME corals did a great video here on R2R on the use of AA in a reef tank. From what o gather AA's are used as a form of nitrate introduction without adding phosphates. Corals will appreciate the addition of AA if you're running a nutrient deprived system. For me I run the Aquaforest SPS program and my levels are undetectable so the addition of AA are necessary to keep my corals happy. Aside from bacteria and carbon dosing I also run GFO. Because of this I also feed heavy.

There's more to the story than just No3.
I just dose straight No3 but won't get the great PE as with AA, if my colors are these of the rainbow and I have great growth I won't care much about PE as I have plenty during the night when my skimmer is off and micronano's are on for 4hrs.

The fuel and the Redsea A&B energy is IMO the proven bottles on the market, of course that is based on most threads here and my own use of it, fuel in the past and Redsea as we speak in the frag tank as I have no fish in there to give my corals fish poop to eat :rolleyes:
