Default For those only running partial Zeo what are you dosing?

I seem to remember a thread like this recently, but can't find it. Anyway, I'm not ready to go full blown Zeo, but want to experiment with some of the individual bits. What are others dosing and how much?

I'm shifting from SPS more to LPS/softies/zoas.

I use amino acid for polyp extension for sps and for lps such as candycane.And Sponge Power for colourization.That seems to be all they need. 4 drops of amino each night into my 20 gal sump of my 90 gal tank and the same with Sponge Power every second night.

Man, this Zeo stuff isn't cheap. But I guess you only have to add a drop or two at a time.

I have used AA, CS, Sponge, Xtra, glow. I also have vitalizer but rarely use (red slime algae outbreaks).

Take it slow, making sure also use CS to control the nutrient when using those.

What about dealing with cyano? I've recently had an outbreak.
