My tank as it sits has about 70-75 gallons total volume after displacement, and the overflow box. So obviously you have lower nutrients than I do (big surprise) since you have to use less Spur2. I have noticed that dosing the Spur2 makes them drop a lot of color (all colors, the nice ones and the browns), but when they get the color back it has less and less brown, and more and more pretty colors than the last time. It also affects some corals more than others. I'm assuming it does that for you as well? Very interesting product. I wonder how it works...
Why don't you use Coral Snow? Does it have an adverse affect for you?

yeah you cold use the zeolites in your sump, most important thing is to keep the flow rate at 80-100gph though these as too much flow will cause problems as the nutrients are too quickly removed.
and yeah, i have found the colors to be more and more intense with contiuned use. and its true that some odd corals are not effected by this, i thought they were from indo, not 100% so dont quote me on that. its something to do with those certain corals from that area dont want to release there excess zoo alage so readily.
not sure how it works, i am guessing it agitates the coral enough for it to purge the excess.
