Coraline help...

Hey all,

We have some LR in the tank that is loosing its color.

When we first got it there was some nice red & pink coraline on the rock. We have been dosing the tank with calcium alternating with purple up daily to help keep it going but we have slowly noticed the colors are dulling and changing to a drabber color.

Any help or advice on how we can keep the coraline bright.
