LFS is carrying full line of different additives that are suppose to enhance color etc of coral by brightwell aquatics. Anyone have any experience with their products?

Microbacter7 is quite popular to those using vodka.

If you are talking about their Koral Color which is supposed to enhance your coral's color, don't bother. I bought a bottle just to see if there was any change in some of my corals coloration and ...

wait for it...

NOPE! I'll add that to the list of things that would better off being labeled "snake oil" and place it on a shelf next to Mark Weiss' products.

Regualr water changes and monitoring your water params and dosing the alk, calc or mag as needed will keep your corals healthy and vibrant.

FWIW, I do use Brightwell's Liquid Magnesion to keep my mag in range.

I have found most of their products to be a total waste of $$$. Many of the additives can be cheaply bought too, like their vitamin C.
