If your having success with your current test kits, keep using them. Red Sea will just give you redundancy. Some people swear by salifurt while others swear at them. The same can be said for Red Sea and any other test kit or equipment. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
As for advice, keep doing what your doing and make a log book accompanied with weekly photos. This will help to track growth and color as well as giving a reference if things start going sideways. Make sure to take pictures at the same time of the day. Roughly anyway.
Sweet looking tank

Thankyou the only problem, I don’t know if my acros are doing good or not or how to really tell


As far as dosing Red Sea color program? Do you know if it works?
And should I be testing for i2 k and fe? Their color program test kit

I’m not an sps expert but I’d look at polyp extension, color and growth. If those seem good I’d say they are doing well.
As for test kits I have no experience with those but I was very happy with the mag and ca tests I used from them
