Elos Amino and Pro Skimmer

[ksr.aaron]

I found a whole bunch of posts 5-6 years ago on these products But is their any updates from people who have been using for long periods of time? why you would or would not recommend to a newer reefer? I bought it and did the reading about starting very slow, My Skimmer completly STOPPED making skimmate and the water has been hazy a couple hours. Everything looks happy still but its only been a matter of hours since applied to tank. I also used the coral vitalizer as it was with the BRS Pack I ordered.

If someone knows an active thread still out their on this I would have no issues reading the posts for answers!!

I'm currently dosing Elos amino acid once a week with an amount of 30drops. My tank is fairly new and when I had my phosphate and nitrate to 0.00ppm(Hanna and red sea pro test kit), I notice my sps frags were lacking in color. Especially the purple. All of my frags with purple tips were turning pale green/light yellow. Since dosing amino acid for 6 weeks, I notice the purple tips are back and the overall color of the sps are much more desireable.
I do get algae on the glass everyone 3-4 days so I know there's some nutrient in the water. But the sps colors wasn't what I'm looking for with undetectable nitrate and phosphate without dosing amino acid.

Elos amino and pro skimmer 3-4 days a week, 8 drops per dose of each. Used for about a year now. They're not miracle potions. Some stuff still dies, some stuff turns brown or bleaches. 75% of corals have good color and growth though. Truthfully I've used it ever since I got into sps so I'm not sure what to report without it. When I run out I won't replace it immdiately and observe for changes. Also want to try acro power which gets rave reviews. I also have a bottle or KZ zeovit amino acids to use once the elos runs out. Bought them both at the same time and just started with the elos first.
