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.
