Aquavitro Fuel
Been using this for a couple weeks now and I must say my corals have went through a growth and color spurt since starting. I'm really impressed with this product.
I was dosing daily with Zeo supplements: Phols Exta special, Coral vitalizer, and HCAA's. Soon as I began using Fuel I had stopped using the Zeo stuff completely. I've been dosing 15ml every other morning and like I said I can definitely notice a difference.

Here's a link to it
http://www.aquavitro.com/Products/fuel.html Honestly, I'm always disappointed in any type of supplement I buy for the tank. I never notice any difference when dosing or when not dosing. I DO however notice a difference with Fuel.

I decided to give this a try. Cant say that I have noticed any positive growth or characteristic. Are you using the recommended dose? Im starting off with half the recommended dose presently (as many recommend for this product).

I use it and can say it does work. I also saw increased color and growth.

I will say I've always had trouble keeping my corals fed enough, even with heavy feedings my PO4 is 0 and NO3 is 0. This product may be helping my tank because of the extra nutrients. I haven't test PO4 or NO3 since starting the Fuel.

My LFS loads up there prop tanks with this, and I'm in same boat as OP. I dose Zeo stuff, but for a fraction of the price I notice better results with Fuel. I even have a friend who has put Fuel on a dosing pump. Need to get an update on how thats working for him.

Started using it 3 weeks ago, notice polyp extension is better, not sure about growth. I did start having a diatom bloom though, not sure if it's from fuel bc started seeing it before use.

I had better results with the standard Reef Plus than Fuel. Pale SPS showed no improvement with dosing Fuel. After a switch to Zeo, MAJOR improvements after only one weeks worth of dosing. Pohl's extra, Sponge Power, CV, and AA's.
Zeo for me |

I used it for about 6 months up until I changed over to RS's Reef Energy A & B which is a better "Cleaner" product.
The reason I did is it totally dusted my glass even with No3 0 & No4 0.02. How ever to be fair I was not carbon dosing with methonal as I am now.I think its a good product....the entire line is good. I dose a cap of 8.4 every three day for PH. |

I use it and like it, LFS is bringing it in 4ltr jugs!!
but if overdone I've found it can cause an algae bloom on my rock work. |

I've been using it for quite some time and my acros have never looked better. I dose 2x a week. I use it after the lights are out.
My other corals, zoas palys and lps, seem to like it too! |

I used this stuff a little and noticed results. I went alittle crazy with it and bought 15 bottles of the large quantity bottle. Even with a 700 gallon system I have only used 1 1/2 bottles in a 8 months or so. I have a over growth of some plating algae on rocks dont know if this is the cause, but acros have new tips and look good
