Ricky, do you use refresh or similar to help pigment, skin quality etc. Back in the day I used to dose every three to four days a few weeks prior to showing my fish and the difference it made to those factors was excellent. I used to bypass my mechanical filtration for the first day after adding it as I found until it was well diluted it would be striped out too quickly. Also found it helped to strip unwanted elements from the water.
