I am currently experimenting with Red Sea Reef Care program. I am using the nopox, Part a,b and c and the amino acids. So far, I am very happy with it.

So far just mag. I mixed up a batch using the epsom salt method but I am thinking of changing over. I suspect that very soon I will be dosing 2 part. Levels have been droping a bit but I want to watch it a little longer to be sure.

Edit:

Not sure about everybody, but I used to apply the following philosophy for growth and colors:

Growth = stable parameters, appropriate lighting, limit chemical "warfare" (e.g., no leathers in my primarily SPS tank, run carbon 24/7)

Colors and Growth = ULNS from an export perspective (c-dosing, efficient wet-skimming, media to house additional anaerobic bacteria), followed with high import (adequate mix of food), AA's and whatever trace elements are needed in addition for your specific situation (for me Fe helped), and proper lighting.
