Anyone using HCAA or CV?

[johnvu713]

Anyone has experience using HCAA is High Concentrate Amino Acids or coral vitalizer? I'd like to give these a shot but theyre kinda pricey. Let me know what you think of them thanks

is nice but expensive

Yes I use them both. The AAHC brings out some real nice colors and the CV will make your coral go nuts. The polyps extension and growth tips happen quick and is really noticable in your millis.

Either he isn't dosing enough or he around the tank often for him not to notice any changes.

i guess youre a staunch believer. I heard CV add nutrient to your tank and raise your nutrient level which in most people opinion not a good thing. Please advise

Actually, the "claim" is that it does not negatively effect nutrient levles, which is what makes it so desirable. I cannot speak from experience as I haven't tried it but I will be getting some AAHC and CV in the next couple weeks along with my basic 4 when my reactor is finished.

IMO, CV is a supplement that worked well for many, but others may not see a drastic change in their Acros. The first thing I noticed was increased polyp extension then coloration in some corals. Blue Acros seem to benefit the most with this supplement.

I highly doubt that CV increases nutrients because if nutrients were increased Acros would not like that causing them to brown out or fade, instead they make them healthier.
