I've recently re-done my husbandry this is what I have done to color up my tank:
Stop messing with it. I am trying to limit the introduction of my hand into the tank, since I think that we introduce inhibitory/problematic "things" from our skin.
QT all additions, i.e. no pest introductions. Pest have hurt me too many times already.
Create Tank stability though automation.
pH consistency above 8.0 (8.2 is better) along with high alk/ca. I got rid of my calcium reactor which was keeping my pH at 8.0. The scientific literature points to lower pH interfering with calcification.
Feeding different foods at night during maximal polyp extension. Attempting to provide the nutrients (amino acids) missing from strict photosynthetic processes.
Added an external DSB.
