What are the best ways to speed up coral growth?

Don’t chase numbers chase stability

High pH, high alk

I'm surprised alkalinity hasn't come up much here. On my softy tank, I would run alk all the way up in the 11's and 12's and you could almost see the coral growing hahaha. Don't try this with low nutrients (or on an SPS tank).

Eight Four works perfectly, add till you text at 8.3-8.4, then stop unless needed.
