If u can maintain Low nutrient which mean low level of N04, P04 and maintaining the 3 part (ca,kh and mg) constantly together with good lighting, the sps will color up very soon.

Learning here as well. When you say 1ppm every day, you meant 1ppm of CaCO3? If the alkalinity conversion I found online is correct, that seems to equate to 0.02 meq/l or 0.056 dKH. Seems like a really small fluctuation.



Specs

Return pump: 2 x Eheim 1260 (with 1 pumped to chiller before returning to main)
Chiller: Hailea HC-500A (1/2 hp)
Skimmer: Deltec SC2060
Lightings: 8 x 24W ATI Sunpower T5 fixture
Wavemakers: Vortech MP40, MP10, Tunze nanostream 6045
Additives: TLF C-balance (2 parts Ca and Alk) via Kamoer 3 channel dosing pump; Polyp-lab Reef Resh; FM color elements
