Need help with soft corals

[Flareefguy]

Looking for advice to help my soft corals flourish. 55 GAL tank, sump, protein skimmer. Tank is maintained monthly by local shop(water change, cleaning, testing & dosing) Recently they started dosing a vitamin & the corals seem to thrive for 2 weeks, then seem to fall off. They have me dose 3 caps Fusion1, 2 caps fusion 2, and 6 caps magnesium 2x week. My water parameters are always good they tell me. Current loop lighting system running about 8 hrs a day. I am happy with the tank but would like to see my corals blossom .Tank is deeper purple than photos show

Personally speaking, absolutely no need to dose anything, especially for soft coral tank. My 15 gallons soft coral tank has way more corals than your tank has, and I don't dose anything.

I see lots of coraline so I guess its a mature tank, how long have you had the corals in the tank? Soft corals like nutrient rich water, higher nitrates and phosphates, so just feed your fish more.

Higher nutrients in the water will do so much more for your soft corals than all that dosing you are doing.

The tank is established for about 2 years now, had to replace the old 55 gallon tank. The corals have been in for roughly 6 months. I feed 1 cube mysis shrimp 3x weekly. I have 3 fish & 1 sand Gobie

Again, just my opinion, but I would say to feed daily, maybe even twice a day, and drop all that dosing.
