    I am dosing my coral with Kent Marine Coral Accel. It suggests 1 to 2 tsp / 50 gallons. I have a 10 gallon nano. I put in, maybe 1 to 3 drops /day. My corals appear to be doing well. I also do a weekly water change. What are your feelings ?

    I have used that product also OceanSurf and like you I went for the lower end of the stated dose

    I will say my experience at the time with mostly softies, was that the corals did seem to react to the introduction of this (and various other supplements/ food based I used)
    typically the corals seemed to inflate more than they had previously

    I would agree that the corals in my tank displayed what I interpretted as a favourable reaction to the use of the product also used Microvert, Chromaplex from same company and also used Seachems Reef plus (aminos and vitamins)

    I always had an eye on my parameters when using product of this nature Nitrates and Phosphates can increase due to an excess of broadcast feeding
