Tweaking Pinks And Reds [sps]
Hey all,

Has anyone had much luck with the KZ products in tweaking the pinks and reds in systems that arent based on the KZ ULNS?

KZ potassium and lugol's items are expensive and wondering if I should give them a go. I've already got some amazing blues, greens and yellows but my pinks appear washed out a bit.

I find the reds and pinks in acropora species are very related to Phos, mine come out well when I hit 0.03 Phos or some of the more sensitive pinks need below 0.03 even. It does not seem to matter too much to my system if i have elevated K or not. Some also seem to like a bit of NO3 like the pink lemonade before I see good strong colour. They all do seem a little different in exactly what the sweet spot is.

Oh awesome @Oceanarium! The pink is coming out now so I should just be patient then and not try to enhance it then or at least wait till it levels out then see if I can lessen Phos or increase K.
