Default zeovit beginner Q?

Just starting into SPS and was wondering if I could get some recommendations on what zeovit products would be best to start with.

Pohl's Xtra and Coral Vitalizer are the two best products for getting fast results.

i tried xtra once and used WAY less than the recommended dosage. my sps really paled soon after. think this was something else or possibly the xtra albert?

can you describe the effects of both of these? and will they have adverse effects in a tank that's not ULNS or close to it?

There's two xtra. One makes the tissues thin (for non-ULNS) and one makes the tissues thick (ULNS).

Another product worth trying would be coral snow. Possibly no effect on corals but makes the water sparkle like that vampire from twilight.

The ones I use are:

Pohl's Xtra - Great for color and growth.
Coral Snow - Keeps water clean which means healthier, more colorful corals.
Sponge Power - Food for sponges. They keep water clean. Also help Corals recover faster from fragging and being banged around.
Coral Vitalizer - Helps with color and Growth.

I swear by the first 3. Not a 100% sold on Vitalizer though. I don't see much difference with or without it.

As for dosing, I use about 50% - 75% of recommended.

I haven't used Zeovit in a couple years and I'm thinkin about trying it again once my new setup is up and running. Do you have a link or info on this? I know you've been researching zeo and it'll save me from looking myself. Thanks Raied.
