Default Zeovit and LPS

So I'm into my 7th week of zeovit, some of my LPS aren't faring as well as I'd hoped while others are doing fine (albeit one is a bit cranky). The unhappy ones are smaller frags. Is there anything from the zeovit line I can use to help them out? I've never been all that successful with the target feeding. Two are an acan frags, the other a blastomussa. I suppose they've been languishing awhile but haven't gotten any better.

On the flip side, is there anything else (ie. non-zeovit) I could be trying??

Currently using the basic 4 plus amino acids, coral snow, pohls xtra (been using for the last 3 weeks) and sponge power.

There is an Amino Acid designed for LPS

http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/zv...S+-+250ml.html

I would think blastos might get cranky in a nutrient poor system. I never had any success with then even before Zeo

You should also use ZeoFood7, ZeoBak and Coral Vitalizer

All the above work very well...

I use the following:
- Zeovit Reactor
- ZeoFood7
- ZeoBak
- Coral Vitalizer
- Kaliumiodid-Fluor Concentrate
- Amino Acid Concentrate
- Jod Komplex Concentrate
- Sylo-Pocci Glow (just started this one a week ago)
- ZeoStart2
- Coral Snow
- ZeoSpur2

I use the Zeovit LPS product, Coral Vitalizer and some Coral Snow...I have acans in the tank I use these in. One Acan was fairing very poorly in my SPS tank, and actually died off quite a bit as did a Japanese Micro I have....moved them to my frag tank, been dosing with the above and they both have grown and are getting tissue regrowth. I am really happy with the progress.

(edit)
+1 on the Zeo LPS aminos. Blastos will live in a zeo system.
