Thinking about starting to dose Zeovit AA. I was looking at the directions on the Britewell bottle and it says use to spot feed. Is this correct or do i just put it in a high flow area of the tank?

That's hard to say, but I suspect dosing into a high-flow area might be reasonable for most corals. I don't know the uptake time for such nutrients.

Are you trying to color up a specific coral or tank in general?

If for the whole tank, I would just dose in a high-flow area. Amino acids are taken up almost instantaneously, even at low concentrations. To maximize effectiveness you could shut off return for awhile and/or skimmer too.
