I dont prepare my amino acid stock solutions. I use commercial amino acid supplements like; acropower, KZ LPS aminos acids and red sea reef energy B.
I generally dose 10-15ml of one of these products to ~120G tank daily. If that days nitrate tests gave less than ~0.5ppm nitrate, I dose half the amount. Among these acropower cause the most foaming. Even after 1 hour of turning the skimmer off, it still foams if what is dosed is acropower. I think this is because acropower is the most concentrated product among these. Manufacturer Recommended dosing amount of AP is ~1/10 of the other brands(but it still dose 10-15ml).
