Chemicals to dose in helping sps grow?

[jayare]

Hello,
Are there any additives out there that I can add to my tank to aid in the growth rate of sps corals?
Thanks,
Jesse

Stable Ca and Alk, and good water quality have been the only ones I feel I need.

Others think different, but I don't feel I've seen great results adding anything else [but food].

water changes, two part calc/alk, and good lighting are all i use.

I just started adding Coral Vital but itââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s too early to say whether it helps or not. Other than that Ca, Alk and water changes.

I dose CA, ALK, and MAG, IO is a little low on Mag and I like to keep it somewhere around 1300 so I add that to my WC water.

along w/ stable everything, weekly water changes, low nutrients, strong lights and food, zeovit helps. some are for it some against.

Ditto

Also feeding my fish well and blowing of my rocks to put detritus in suspension every so often.

I'm not using the Zeovit system but I'm using some of their Amino Acids, K Balance, Pohl's Coral Vitalize and Macro Elements....

It could be a mistake, but I think that I've seen better growth and coloration since i started dosing.

Phosphates retard calcification, look there first when acros don't grow before looking for an additive to increase growth.
