I have a number of LPS (Torch, Trumpet,Frogspawn,Fungia etc.) I have 130L tank change 15L water a week. I add plankton once a week with skimmer off. I spot feed anything with a mouth every other day my quetion is this.

Are there any good additvies to put in my tank to promote more growth?

Everything in the tank is healthy and looking great as this is my first marine tank I did nt go too made on expensive corals incase of a crash would like the stuff I have to grow on a bit more to fill out tank ;)

Many Thanks in advance :)
 
it sounds to me like you are doing enough. What are the water stats? So long as the water stats are good then the occasional feeding they should grow fine. Also what lighting are you using? You could dose a bit of phyto every now and again too.

LPs dont grow particiually fast, nothing compared to softies so dont expect instant results
 
All stats are good Nitrates a little higher than I would like 15 but guessing spot feeding doesnt help, added to my cuc to ensure all food is eaten, had an issue with my chaeto not getting enough light made a little net / egg crate holder to keep it in place in the filter box so hopefully these changes should get it below 10.
 
Only addition to a tank to see increased coral growth is a time machine,lol...
Keep taking pics every month , then in 6/7 months look back at origional ones to notice just how much they really have grown. Watching them daily it can be difficult to notice any change until you look back at your older pics..
Keep up regular maintenance, water checks and spot feeding and time will do the rest....
