What's N and P at for you? I'm 0.5 ppm and 3 ppb (0.009 ppm) respectively. My corals were really pale before starting AF, and they've finally started darkening up now.
I was showing 0ppb P and 4ppm nitrates so I removed the phosphate minus as I was phosphate limited. Hadn't checked in at least a month prior to this l.

I'm now showing .012ppm Phosphates and 1ppm nitrate

I have also seen amazing improvements in color since switching to AF and have polyp extension on some across that I never had before.

Yes, N and P looks better now.

Also, I'm getting excellent color and PE improvements too. I started making the transition in late February with salt and ProBioS. I started the supplements mid-April, and then I started the macros and micros beginning of May. It's when I started the macros and micros that I really started seeing improvements.

Here are a couple examples...
