Does anyone use Pohls Coral Vitalizer in there mixed or majority sps, acro reefs?
I've been using it for 4 months now and it definitely did make a difference as far as health and color on all my corals, lps, and especially all acros. Just wondering if anyone else has had any noticeable effects good or bad.

I started using it a few months ago and I would say overall it seems to help. I've used it in both ULNS and a heavy bioload systems. No adverse effects, only positive results Corals are happy.

It works good, I'm using it and noticed a difference.

You should try KZ Flatworm stop it's great also.

I used Phols Xtra special before when doing KZ, never used Phols vitilizer, I wonder if it's much different?

At what time of the day are you guys using it? When the lights are on or during night when the corals open up?

I dose it either around 5 in the morning before going to work and/or right after I feed the fish in the evening. Now that this post I originally posted came back up, the date stamp made me aware I've been using it for a year.

and how do you like it looking a year back now?
Well I'm out the door so I just dosed some, almost empty but have one coming on friday. I like it with the amount of fish and corals I have in a pretty simple system it must be working and helping all the corals out. Definitely not gonna stop using it. It definitely doesnt hurt a thing. Heres a couple pics of my current tank.

I have the entire line and do use it , applied before lights out
I highly recommend the KZ colors 1-2-3-4 which contain boron, potassium, and other elements for a mixed reef. Also the acro Glow and Amino Acid is good.
BE SURE TO REFRIDGERATE THE VITALIZER.

What differences do you guys see between pohls extra and the vitalizer? I use the extra when my nutrients are lower and it helps bolden colors and the flesh looks a little fluffier if you will. I don’t use it much, and a little goes a long way it seems. How does it compare?

Pohls xtra is trace elements, Pohls xtra special is trace elements and aminos, coral Vitalizer is straight up liquid coral food.
