Keeping the big 3 (cal/alk/amg) stable is important but its only a small portion of what you need to color up SPS.

From my experience, the more important part is to maintain very low nitrates and phosphates but still feed a ton of food at the same time. That means you need to figure out how to export nutrients efficiently.

You also need good lighting and flow. Flow is also way underestimated.

A coral can live without light for many days but can it live without flow? NOPE.
