[A Young Reefer]

I would like to hear from everyone what techniques do they use to increase coral or in particular SPS corals growth, share your tips and tricks !!

My strategy is: keep things stable and wait

I dont think their are tricks per say.
I go with stability:

Alk 7-8. target 7.5
Ca 400-450.target 420
Mag 13-1400.target 1350

Ph 7.9-8.3
SG 1.0264-.027
Temp 79-82
Po4 <.1
No3<5

Water change 10% every 2 months.

Heavy in/out
I do not feed the corals.
I feed 8 cubes a day to 15 fish in my 120.

Quality lighting.
I run MH and OR3 led bars.

Carx for alk stability.

Over size skimmer
Tunze 9430dc
7" filter sock

I dose EZ trace at 5ml daily.

Quality ato.

Thats my recipe for success.

Keep alk/cal/ph on the high end of the safe zone. Keep up with nutrients both in terms of quantity and quality. Ie, dose amino, phyto, rotifers, have lots of fish poop/pee. Make sure your light is adequate and correct spectrum.

And most importantly, stability and patience.

I’m not the biggest sps person, but IME, stability, high PH, adequate flow, and good lighting.

Edit: also real live rock.
