Power-up your Acro's..........

Your joke didn't come off as one.

I was asking a serious question.

Zeovit has its own amino acids why would you add this?

It's two different mind sets as far as coral husbandry.

You right that's a serious question.
Well, I gave you an answer!

Someone dropped of a bottle last night after Church and will connect it to our grow out system this afternoon when I drop by at the shop.
Will shoot some pics and will record daily dossing's as we go.

I use two different amino I use red sea reef energy Mon wends Fri and ap the other days I do this because of my chalices I used red sea first and notice a big difference in color and growth in my lps but not as much for my sps but now that I'm using ap and red sea together I have great results in both sps and lps .

Is Red Sea specifically for LPS corals or do you feel it just favors them more than SPS?

It helped both for sure just a bigger difference in lps at lest in my case. But now that I'm dosing both I have the best of both world's.

How come everytime these commercial food threads come up no one has before/after pics? Just like that article..................you'd think if they spent 6 months testing a product that they'd be responsible enough to track with pictures. This product has been out for over a year with little interest and now it's the best thing since sliced bread.

I'm not specifically indicting Acro Power, but it seems like all the manufacturers of these food products fail to "prove" with pics, that their products work.

Diesel · Dec 29, 2013

You know, it's easy to make a crappie picture and than 5min later a better picture but photo shopped.
We all can see the difference, sometimes you have to believe them on their word.
But it's a really good point.
I can put up some before pics but that's not doing much as my corals already look good.
And the point of this hobby is to be open for other options with better or in my case same results but less time spend maintaining but enjoying
my tank when I'll be home.
One positive point I like about this product is that you can set it up with a dosing pump and if the results are the same, well you got a win/win deal on your hand.

Some before pics,

few more..........

I will be posting before and after pictures at the three month mark. Fifty four days until the first quarter mark.

Ya, I saw it on Amazon, but unless I can get it shipped through prime I will not buy it. I am not going to pay $8 to ship an $8 bottle. ebay is similar in price.

GOSKN5 · Dec 29, 2013

Eh.. didn't seem bad to me.. shipped for $15... especially since this is just to try... if I like it I will get a big container

TheSaint216 · Dec 29, 2013

You can also order it from Advanced Reef Aquarium - Premium Saltwater Reef Aquarium Supplies took two days to get to me.

JMSKI333 · Dec 29, 2013

It's on Drs. Foster and Smith for the best price

Arkayology · Dec 29, 2013

It appears to be backordered everywhere

I guess Julian Sprung didn't make enough of it lol.

I just placed an order and will see how it goes- I was very impressed with Elos AA and their pro skimmer when it came out and if it does anything remotely close to what it claims I'll be more than happy-

All my acros are *****

Hey Diesel, I thought you said you were going to post pictures of corals that were good looking, where did you find those turd pics :scared:

:tongue: Just kidding brother those look awesome, I hope all them uglies you got from me are doing well, and what the heck is this I read, you have a 2000 gallon FRAG system :faint2:

Once I get my stuff I'll post up some before pics and monitor progress , I'm more interested in how this will play out on my acans which are housed in their own 60 gallon cube.

Yep, a buddy and me stuck our heads together and we did set up some large frag tanks.
Will put up some pics soon, nothing fancy but we try to grow out corals that he and I have in our own systems.
It will be long process but hey nothing happens fast in this hobby other than tank crashes.
Ad yes your frags doing good, growing nicely and have good color too.
