Coralamino and other additives for SPS?

One more thing is I haven't dosed any form of iodine in years and when i did back in the late 90s I never saw any benefit.

Make sure your skimmer is turned off when you dose I leave mine off for an hour.

Is there any other alternative amino (pills/tablets crushed) other than "aquarium specific" that can be used?

You can buy aparic acid from health food stores already in powder form. It doesn't disolve very well in ro water. When I add some which isn' very often I put in about 1/16 of a teaspoon in the overflow area

was that aspartic acid or aparic acid?

l-aspartic acid from iherb.com $5.03 Source Naturals, L-Aspartic Acid, Free-Form Powder, 3.53 oz (100 g) - iHerb.com

I took some pictures today of my corals. I feel like coralamino and K+ have given me better polyp extension and growth. Some of its effects may be stunted because I have red bugs that I am beginning treatment for today, but I still feel it has been beneficial.
