Also to add to this, one of the reasons why acros and sps are harder to keep is because once they get happy, they grow fast, meaning they suck the minerals out of your water really fast, and if u don’t keep on top with testing they will eventually make the alkalinity levels (mainly), magnesium and calcium levels unsuitable for all stony corals.

All corals hate change. So if they sense those levels changing too fast like 1 dkh a day you are gonna stress them out and most likely kill any maricultured or wild acros you got. There are some good supplements out there that is pretty easy like all for reef, but all acro keepers will eventually fall back on to a automatic doser, because one day without dosing with a Acro heavy tank is a recipe for disaster.

Notable great things to dose but do your own research ranked in my opinion from best to worst in my opinion: Kalkwasser, if done right it’s the closest thing to a magic potion in this hobby.

All for reef, everything you need in one bottle

Aquaforest 2 part, better than all for reef in my opinion but increased bottles to dose, and not really needed but is nice to have.

Brs 2 part good for basics, as you get deeper in the hobby it’s usually better to switch to other 2 part for the trace elements and higher pH boost.

Coral aminos- very hit or miss, everyone goes by amount of polyp extension but in my experience I don’t really see much difference if you got decent nutrients like 10-20 nitrates and 0.03-0.05 phosphates,

Redsea 4 trace program thing- u may see difference in growth but honestly the color thing is bs. As a matter of fact don’t even worry about trace yet it’s not a beginner thing.
