I know my tank is clean.

How do I improve colorations?
Potassium 401
Iodine on target.

Adding fish slowly.

Any ideas on how to improve coloration.

Stop any and all carbon dosing

Remove nutrient removing media and carbon.

Feed a lot more

Etc etc.

My tank is extremely nutrient rich and the colors are fabulous. Plus it's a lot less work.

I used to have the same numbers....started dosing stump remover to raise nitrates and the colors have never looked better.

I would say you need to get Nitrate up to around 10, so like the others stated. Feed more, add more fish and dose nitrates if needed.

I recently started dosing stump remover as well. What should my target be for nitrates?

A reading between 2-10 ppm will make the corals happy..
no need to go higher.
Is the stump remover potassium nitrate?
If so, keep an eye on potassium levels if you start doing a lot of it.

Check for high levels of aluminum or other heavy metals.
