With a lottery of 1000s of species ending up in your tank, I don't think there is a single answer or that one persons experience can predict anothers... but as everyone has said, a stable tank that can grow coral will grow coraline.
And yeah, the standard advice is always do not every add anything you do not test for. In most cases "I added X nutrient" and something occurring without testing is simply coincidence.

are you carbon dosing? ie, nopox?
i experienced severe sps tip burn (then tips covered by algae) and lost quite a lot of sps frags and colonies. I was maintaining my alk at around 9-10 dkh using DIY kalk dripper together with manual dosing to top up my levels. after reading up on forums, i set a lower target of around 8 dkh, and swapped to 2 part with a doser that spreads the dose out 24 times in a day. currently tank is holding steady at 8.5 dkh, 440 ca, and 1300-1350 mg. SPS are finally not dying, and some looks like they are gearing up for some insane growth.
