You need light and the correct Calcium and Alkalinity levels. Test your Calcium you want 400-450 and Alkalinity 2.50-4.0 meq/l.

May I suggest Kalk drip or Bionic. As Johno says, this will help alot. Myself, I like the Kalk. Also I think you should have suffecient Strontium and other elements. Good flow of water on the rocks helps I think.
