My tank looks great but I want it to look even better if possible. Is there something that I can use as a colour enhancer that would make the coral pop even more than they do.

Nitrates between 5 and 10 may help. Phos seems a little high in relation to that low of nitrate.I can't change salt as I get my water from a friend...my nitrate is less than 1 and the phos is around 0.25. Looking at my tank right now I have the blues and night blues both running at 100% and it looks really good. I just wonder if there is something out there that would make it look really REALLY good.
I'm not a numbers chaser myself but if you are looking for more pop from you corals increasing your nitrate by feeding more and or adding more fish to poop could help. When I first started my newest tank 2 years ago my coral colors really took off once I got nitrates between 5-10.What lights : Chinese black box. 72 x 3wt cree bulbs. I only have the whites running at 25% during the day but blues ramp up and down
Phos/ Nitrate : Ive always had a phos issue. Sometimes it goes as high as 1.0. I have a skimmer and I use nopox daily ( when I remember ). I'm happy with the low nitrate tbh.
Mine coloured up more after increasing my nitrate to between 15-20
What did you switch from and where do you keep your parameters?I accomplished by switching salt mixes and currently using Tropic Marin
Was using red sea coral proWhat did you switch from and where do you keep your parameters?
I bought the Tropic Marin since I have heard many good things. I have been reluctant to switch since I have been using Live Aquaria professional for a year +. Alk is about 8.4 and CA 440. Colors are good but have been curious to see if the tank looks better with Tropic Marin...
15 is not highWith high nitrates, would that equate to more algae? I'm at that phase where I want better colors, but have always run low NO3 NO4 for fear of GHA, which always seems to pop up when I let the numbers creep.
