Zeovit LPS Amino Acids

Anybody using their LPS amino acids product?

I just started today. They suggest 1ml per 25 gallons daily. I was going to do their daily dose but only 2-3 times per week.

In their manual, it says overdosing can cause brown slime and browning of corals.

Kris, let us know hoe the Zeo works for you on a LPS tank. I have always been curious and most zeo users are SPS heads

most of those problems are due to overdoses of START. overdosing any of the other supplements from the basic 4 or others will not cause any harm other them film algae increase and the darkening of sps corals.

i do however agree with your approach as i've found that the zeo recommemendations are way too high and i would cut down the dosing to at least half what they recommend for your tank size.

So is your tank set up to the Zeo method, or are you just using that AA?
