      Suggestions on additives for a mature SPS tank? (+4 years)

      In the last year I’ve noticed most of my corals have really slowed down in terms of growth. Though I have a few SPS that grow like weeds. Also my LPS aren’t as vibrant as they used to be. Currently I add kalk to my top off and run a Ca reactor as my only source of supplementation beyond water changes. I’m wondering what can I do try try to bring some of the color back and maybe supplements are an option for that.

      Does anyone have suggestion on additives that could help with coral color?

      Brs came out with a video today that might help! Not sure if I can post links on here but it’s the one with the balling method/brs hybrid method

      I watched that. It actually prompted my question. I think I’m probably ok for Ca/Alk/Mg between the kalk and the Ca reactor with dolamite.

      I’m curious what people use for the trace element portion. Also if other additives like amino acids do anything.

      I like the Red Sea reef energy & trace colors programs.

      I use the Red Sea stuff for iodine and potassium because every Triton test I've ever done has come back low on those. I recently started to use some KZ stuff again and I think it's helping some corals. Coral booster, Pohls, flatworm stop, coral vitalizer all because I had them and might as well use them. I rotate acro power/ME polyp stuff for aminos too.
