Get a container that holds a weeks amount and pour from the bottle into it.
Put the rest in the fridge.

I forget - you running a Photon v2?Get a plank auto feeder and use their Jerky food
It’s a bit of an…apparatus. It mounts on the tank (or sump) and it has a tube that is the mixing chamber. The freeze dried food is highly nutritious but the problem with freeze dried is…it floats and goes down the overflow. The plank dispensed it into a mixing chamber with a powerhead and stirs the food until it’s ready to sink. It has an adjustable outlet to control how fast it comes out. You position the device so the tube is near a powerhead so when the food comes out, it’s blown around the tank. Fish and corals go nuts for it.
You use a timer to program how long it runs for and how many times a day it dispenses
If you enlarge the blue light pic and look by the right side power head you will see the mixing chamber, the food comes out the bottoms and right into a mp40 and it’s dispersed across the tank
You can mix in sps food and make a dry food slurry that will feed fish + lps (reef jerky) + sps (your choice of product)
Maybe if you did this 3-5x a day for 30-60 seconds you can train them to come out more in the day time

Sadly my doser isnt easily obtainable because I got a kh keeper and 6 other bottles that can only be at the front. Stil thanks for all your effort! I am looking for amino acids. But acropower for instance doesn't work for my tank.Reef energy can be unrefrigerated for a week

I will do some research thank you for all your effort again!
Korralen zucht coral vitaliser triggers polp extension(but needs refrigeration) & you could feed some amino after that.
It may give you what you are looking for from sounds of description.
I also wouldn't want to suggest auto dosing reefroids(which do stink also)

Yeah agree. I think these things that trigger contain a combo ot fatty acids and amino acids. Most don't contain fatty acids so I will look for that. Refigurate sucks in a house with a small refrigerator where a coca cola can can't even fit in anymore lol

There are two products that I have in mind now.
1. KZ amino acid concentrate
2. KZ amino acid concentrate LPS
I haven't heard much about the first one.
The second one shows good signs in LPS corals I've heard from other reef2reef people.
Anyone else who uses these korallen zucht products?

I run a full zeovit setup.
The AAHC is a good product I pair with coral vitaliser around 30 mins before to get polyps open.
I noticed puffier LPS with the products.
KZ products are in my experience very high quality.
The downside is No1 knows what is truly in there.
I know a reefer personally who doesn't run zeovit who uses kz products with good results even in a relatively high nutrient environment.

What is AAHC?
I think I may be buying the KZ vitalizer after seeing the results... Sadly it still needs to be stored in the fridge.
Also the vitalizer doesn't add any no3 or po4 so that wouldn't be a problem?
Amino acid high concentrate.
The kz products are seriously concentrated & less is more as far as dosing because they really can bump nutrients up.
It works well with the aggressive nutrient stripping of the full zeolite method but perfectly fine is used prudently in non ULNS.
The coral vitaliser is great.
All the bottles can get a little mind boggling & some are frankly unnecessary unless youre going full zeo & even then I don't use them all.
It's tempting to keep collecting them like Pokemon's but I find a handful out of many to be the best.
Spongepower is a great product & I've noticed a large increase in sponge growth & more growth in clams using it.
What's in there is much debated but KZ will never let on

My brother doesn't want me to buy the vitalizer for now. He first want to try the amino acids. Have you tried the amino acid LPS? And if so which one do you prefer regarding growth and polyp extension.
I've used the AALPS & to be honest I found no benefit over the AAHC.
The AA LPS is supposedly more useful in a ULNS system where LPS can struggle if the system is out of balance.
I can soon tell if LPS need more feeding in my system by lack of puffiness or sulking & then I'll either spot feed or increase dosing.
.unless your running nutrients poor I don't think you'll see a large benefit of the AAHC nor AALPS
