Ive had my 90 gals set up for 1 year now and everything is doing OK but dispite all my reactors, kalkwasser,refug,chiller,sump,lights, etc... I cant get any major growth out of my corals(sps,lps) Can any one give me any hints of what I might not be doiing right

First, welcome to Canreef :)

Second, it would probably be helpful to list your tank parameters, including detailed information on your equipment, etc.

Good grief! OK....as far as I can determine, your tank is perfect and has every gizmo possible.

How fast do you expect to see coral grow? Personally, I have to take monthly photos and compare them to really see the difference. A fast growing coral might grow 1 inch in a month for me. A slower growing type might grow only 1/4" in that time.
