does anyone have a secret to accelerate coral growth :)
 
Good lighting, stable levels of calcium, high alkalinity, and consistent temperatures along with keeping trates and phosphates as close to 0 as possible will give you the best growth possible :)

+1 Stability is key.

Also feeding, however balancing feeding with a low nutrient tank can be tricky so feeding shouldnt be done often. Some corals will grow very rapidly while others grow slowly.

++1 stabilty of calcium and alk sps will take off i keep my calcium at 420 and alk at 12 via calcium reactor sps love these consistant levels in my aquarium anyway

Id check daily then dose after each try for same time each day also while dosing alk keep eye on calcium because dosing alk will lower calcium

Id also get something that raise dkh without affecting ph unless ph is low
 
ph is about the 8.1 mark so probly needs to be a bit higher . ill cheak again tonight and see how things are

I hold BRS in the highest regard when it comes to pricing and service. They strive to make the customer happy and ive had nothing but great experiences dealing with them.

+1 90% of the reefers on here have probably ordered atleast one thing from them and I've yet to hear a complaint. They also have a video for pretty much every product they carry on YouTube.
