Lets see.. I have Red Sea Reef Energy Plus AB+, Viberant, and @AlgaeBarn OceanMagic phytoplankton.

I've only dosing Red Sea Reef Energy Plus AB+ for about 3 weeks now, So far I like it. The colors in the coral have really defined themselves after about 2 weeks of using it.

Phtoplankton, I highly recommend getting pods and plankton from Algae barn. It has really balanced out the tank and omg pods everywhere. Plus food for the picky corals.

I keep viberant on hand, I really only had to use it for weeks to help clear up some algae before it went crazy during cycling. Now it gathers dust, but works like a champ when you need it.

ohh other liquids in bottles.. I guess you could count ESV B-Ionic two part. but I really don't count it, got to get alk and calc from somewhere...
i love to hear it! ~Shaun K

Well at least right now my favorite liquid in a bottle is Seachem Nitrogen. It is keeping the dinoflagellates at bay as my tank stabilizes. You see, I screwed up the water chemistry when I overdosed PhosGuard; leading to dinoflagellates up the wah zoo. Many months of frustration later, I figured out that I needed to dose phos and nit as it was zero on both ends. Tank still looks like crap, but at least the dinos are mostly gone!

Only liquid in a bottle I see is iodine. Unless you count the 35ppm refractometer calibration solution and the cupramine. The rest is powder, crystals or aragonite.

I have 3, I use 0. NeoPhos, Nitrobacter, and CoralAmino when the tank was young to add nutrients. Other than 2 part, I add nothing to the tank (or my previous 75g acro dominant tank).

Neophos (.01 worth) and all the reef nutrition bottles (5 drops of each). Just started using AB+ only 1ml in a 125 though for now.

I want to know your FAVORITE one!!! Tell me!
Vibrant. I was skeptical at first, after 6 weeks I’m considering getting rid of some of my algae clean up crew because there’s so little for them to eat that I’ve had to give them nori sheets.

For me the best is the Black Label (The Juice) by Coral Essentials, that stuff is amazing. The added growth and colours I get from adding that is mental.
