Ok.....going to google some more Zeovit stuff
I used a combo of the xtra and coral vitalizer and got good results. Yeah it's expensive but you don't dose nearly as much as recommended. I've heard the amino acids and the sponge power help as well. Post on the zeovit.com forum there are some guys there that will give you good recommendations and the proper amount to dose.

It,s expensive but at the end it is not because it is concentrated and you only use a drop or 2 depending on your aquarium size. I have my bottle of amino acid for more than a year now, so it's not that expensive considering this.

I use Zeovit amino acid and Zeovit coral vitalizer. 2 bottles of liquid that you use by the drop and last for a very long time.

I'm looking into getting some brought in as I live a loooooong ways from an LFS.

Now I have some Brightwells "reef snow", Zooplanktos-m and some Kent PhytoMax

These are all a few years old but have been refrigerated the entire time.....will any of these help for the time being? the bottle doesn't say but how long are these good for if kept in the fridge?

The corals do look "hungry" to me but I would be careful about adding too many random nutrients to the tank.....it's a lot easier to add then it is to remove.....if it were my tank I would just start feeding the fish a little more

I have a full bottle of Brightwell KoralColor that I bought for some unknown reason a wile back.

Now I can't find any ingredients on the bottle, but they claim it will help with coloration.

Has anyone tried this stuff and or has an opinion about it?
