All aminos are effective as long as they are applied per manufacturers. I think dosing aminos would be overkill but also depends upon tank volume.
My favorites are acropower, ME Coral, Red sea energy and Brightwell amino
 
Acropower. One time per week or less
 
Anybody dosing acro power?
I use it occasionally but I find if I use it to often I get some sort of black stain/growth on rock and coral. I use to have the same problem with Black Powder AA which I don’t think they even sell anymore because of that problem. I guess I don’t really know if I should dose AA or not
 
anyone care to update if they have still been dosing AA
 
I dose aminos regularly
 
Started dosing Red Sea Reef Energy a few weeks ago. My corals show slightly better polyp extension after the the Reef Energy has been added. Also I was having tissue recession on a hammer coral, the reef energy seems to have stopped/slowed down the tissue recession. I would recommend aminos if you are ULN (0 Nitrate). Although after dosing this stuff I have seen increased algae growth on the glass.
