Coral Vitalizer NEEDS to be refrigerated, along with ZEOBak.

I'd suggest dosing the ZEO Amino Acid for SPS, they have 2, one for LPS and one for SPS. It should also be dosed with Sponge Power.

I've spoken to the ZEO Rep when he was at J&L, he recommends dosing them both every 2nd day or when intoducing new SPS.

I've followed that and have seen good PE and growth so far.

I've started dosing 4 drops a day of the ZeoVit amino acids (as per the instructions) and up me feeding quite a bit.

Only been at it for a few days now....but I'll post some follow up pic's in a month or so.

Test your potassium if you haven't recently. Biopellets suck it from the water, and lots of salt is low in it. Seems to be a major cause to either the crash or SLOW recovery in my tank. This past 2 weeks adding potassium i've had better results than everything i've tried in the past 2 months.

To think... it was a $20 bottle... after spending ?? on other fixes... don't tell my wife

I think the 4 drops (as per directions) of amino acid may be to much......some of my SPS's are looking brown ish......and I seem to be having a cyano out break :sad:

I'm going to back it off to 1/2 the recommended dose and go back to my old feeding routine.

Any progress on your SPS?

I've cut back the dosage to one drop a day (still battling cyno) other then that that sps's are a tiny bit darker....but for the most part the same as always. They do have great polyp extension and are growing well, just don't have vibrant colors.
