I'm sure it has been mentioned before, but I was wondering what the current products are to supplement colors/growth in an SPS dominated reef. In the past I've used Reef COlors Pro and liked it but I can't find it any more in stores. This will be in addition to Alk/CA/Mg.

Any suggestions? I would like something that I can automate with a doser. I won't be consistent enough with hand dosing daily.

Thanks

I am a huge fan of KZ products, but am hesitant to recommend anything until I know more information.

How large is the system in question? What does your consumption look like? How frequently are you doing WC's? What are your dosing goals aside from color and growth? Are you currently dosing Kalk?

FYI: I run an SPS system with automated dosing handled by 12 pumps:

I'd be careful of dosing without ICP. I followed the KZ color bottles directions and did an ICP and everything was out of whack leading to 80% water change (iodine, iron were off the charts). I haven't used those since.

What kind of dosers are those in the picture? I assume they have been running for a long time without issue?
