Color and growth

Stable parameters, good flow, good light, food. I’m not sure what types of coral you are trying to color up but for acros the closest thing you can add is acro power to “color up”. There’s no magic additive by any means and sooo many variables it’s different with every system.

A fat colorful happy coral is well fed living in a system with ideal conditions & parameters. There is no particular snake oils or bottles of Magic Elixirs that can replace good husbandry. If you want your corals to grow, start target feeding them twice a week and ensure you keep your parameters stable. I personally use the Balling Lite added to my 2 part Mixes but have never noticed much effect, I just thought adding the additional traces couldn't hurt. The only other thing I occasionally dose when Nitrates are low is Amino Acids but aside from that nothing else.
