how big is your tank David?.....I would think about getting in to the bulk chemicals if your tank is over say 100g.....this will save you a tonne of money over buying pre-mixed solutions....
My tank is 150G. Can you elaborate more on the bulk chemicals? This is what I have ordered today.

I think half those products you're dosing are a waste of money. Purple Up is essentially just a calcium/alkalinity booster (can't remember if it is cal or alk), and I've never found it to actually increase coralline any more than simple keeping proper parameters. Reef Plus and Coral Accel probably do little other than increase nutrient load in your tank. Nutrients make for brown SPS, although LPS and softies like some nutrients.
Thanks Myka. I was going to order Reef Plus and Coral Accel again but after reading your comment, I've decided to try something else instead.
