Totally agreed, people tend to over complicate their system with all these additives, and supplements. you just have to remember, every tanks is its own.It's funny that sometimes we swear by the trace elements whereas some of the best sps keepers keep things as simple as possible with weekly water changes , high nutrients by feeding fishes , high light and high flow .
One of the best sps keeper - @Big E share your thoughts please ..

I dont think this write up is to accurate, some parts are in a way but a number of the parts are not.Photoshop...
All joking aside, here is a really good guide https://reefbuilders.com/2008/09/03/guide-of-sps-coral-coloration-make-them-more-vivid-bright/#
Beautiful tanks those are the colors im striving for. How do yall take top down photos?
On the contrary , many successful old timers had just radiums to color up acros .Till today , you cannot beat radiums for color and growth if system is stable enough .
Sometimes I feel , it's just better to leave the system alone and stick to basics of water change .
Acros take time to acclimate to tank and color will show up with time .
I have several acros that are fragsand hardly have any color beside brown . Tried many additives and it only makes things worse .
Currently just leaving things alone and sticking to basics .

Any cool corals I should be ont he look out for? Love a diversity of colors if possible. Maybe name yoour favs.
never mind the price has dropped. Might be a new addition...
Cal, mag, pot, can flex a little bit as long as you stay with in the acceptable parameters . Alk is the only thing that I work hard to keep on the money every day.
Dosing pumps for cal and alk maintain them spot on. Every 3-4 weeks I have to make small adjustments up to compensate for growth. Mag and pot, I dose manually every 2 weeks. Right after water changes.
Depending on your coral growth, will dictate the demand on cal,alk,mag,pot.
Alk, alk, alk, alk, alk.............this is key. Stable alk super important.
Bioload also important.
