walt disney,Homewrecker,etc....is there a tip in getting the Pinks to POP?T5 bulbs?dosing?placement?
my tank is sps dominant and all of my corals are very colorful,just wondering about pinks.
 
Is this the only pink , red or purple in the tank. These colors tend to fade with a potassium deficiency. They tend to look washed out or grey appearance . If you are using a high quality salt mix and do regular water changes , that should keep up with the demands. Make sure if you try the potassium you don't get potassium iodide . Potassium iodide is different.
 
Run your lighting between 14-16k should help with the pink. Too blue will turn the coral purple
