>Greg - in your opinion do you feel dosing amino acids improves the colour of SPS? You seem to be a little familar with the topic. All other variables being ideal and stable of course.<

I've never dosed them. I really don't like not knowing what I'm adding. If I do add them I'd like to know the concentrations of each amino acid I'm adding before hand.

Up till now, long term I've never added anything to my tank but calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity (by calcium reactor predominanatly). Also, I feed my fish of course, BUT, I don't have eye popping color from every coral. Sometimes I think we are never satisfied, but perhaps should be.
