That is good news. As the bottle of 2 parts mention you need to weekly check your perimeters. The reason is alk, and calcium need to be balanced. The numbers on the bottles say what range of each you need. If they are not balanced is sync corals can not extract the calcium from the water. It is a bit more complex than my explanation, but you get the gist. As mentioned cal and alk can not be mixed together.

The other important additive is magnesium. This is not dosed as often as cal and alk. But it also has to be balanced. It takes three things for a balancing.

Glad your corals are looking better. Checking all water perimeters weekly will make it easy to catch any issues before they get too bad.
 

Good trouble: Have mushrooms ever become pests in your aquarium?
