Personally, I don't take Reef Builders too seriously when they review products. I read their site all the time as they are great at showing off the latest and greatest aquarium gear, but since they accept advertising dollars from all over I do not think they can be considered an unbiased source of information. They did spark an interest in me about AcroPower though, so they are good at what they do!
Well we are talking about amino acids here...not something that can be considered as "snake oil". I have used aminos and have seen crazy polyps from SPS (can't comment on growth cause I always had great luck with growth anyway; knock on the wood). Zeovit relies a lot on aminos. "Proper data" would obviously be great to look at but one thing I have realized is you won't be able to get any data regarding chemical stuffs from unbiased source in this hobby; whoever has money/equipment to undergo such tests are already related to some names.
