I’m looking the way on polyp extension, I try amino it can help on polyp extension. But meanwhile it will raise a lot in No3.
As currently my tank parameter wasn’t in stable status, I can’t do heavy import and export.
Every time I using the amino, it take some period to lower my No3. And my no3 stay in 7.x can’t try even lower beyond this point. Anyone can share some tips thank

No3 7.5
Po4 0.03
KH 8.4
Ca 450
Mg 1335
Ph 8.19
K 390
Orp 350-380
 
What kind of coral?

Your no3 and no4 seem low to me actually, mine are higher.

I don't follow your thought process that just because you add amino's, the polyps should extend. It has nothing to do with it.
 
I would defiantly raise your phosphates a bit....with the inaccuracy of our test kits, that is a little too close to zero. I seem to notice more (or less) polyp extension based on flow. Maybe try increasing (or decreasing) your flow or flow patterns?
 
Thank for advice, and currently I m using the Hanna I hope it’s accurate. Will try to adjusting the flow.
