zeovit does have a reactor, and you can find people making diy nano reactors, but you don't have to have the reactor just to dose amino acids or anything like that.

the brightwell stuff has a lot of followers in rc. a lot of people have success with it.

I use Seachem and Brightwells.... love the results!


Skip the nano pack and just get the full bottles.

I noticed that the colors started to brighten and the growth was a bit more steady.

Are you dosing amino acid daily? I'm using seachem and dose twice a week and not seeing much colors pop. My water parameters are fine, the only fluctuation is the temp 76-82..thnking going with vit c, any experience with dosing vit c..TIA

How are you skimming?
Lighting?

You cannot rely solely on AA if the other factors are lacking.

At the time I ran high lighting, overskimmed, and dosed vitC, vodka and once it became nutrient deficient I added Amino Acids and started to feed a bit heavier.
