Okay I have a 180 mixed reef that I have been moving over slowly to SPS. I have been using MeCoral alk and calcium for 3 or 4 months and I have like the product so far. It's great price and pharmaceutical grade products. So after finally meeting up with the owner of MeCoral. He gave a bottle of a beta product he has been dosing on his tank. Considering his tank looks amazing I would give it a try. I started dosing as per his instructions. I had a nitrate problem that I was keeping at bay with auto water changes. If I turn AWC off I would get nitrates in the 10+ range. After running the product for about a week or so I check my nitrates and they were at 0 or really close. So knowing a little nitrate seems to be good for everyone in my tank I stopped the auto water changes. Since then I have adjusted the dose amount to keep nitrates around 1. This has really made it easy to maintain. Now I know Vineger keeps them low. But I am surprised the color of everything and the growth I'm getting with 0 phosphate with hanna and around 1 nitrate with redsea pro. I would say the amino acids that part of his mix have to help. After reading a little about it. I can see why it helps. Well here are some pics of sps frags that I placed in tank same time I started dosing
