You've tried so many formulas, but you haven't named even one, Nick, nor said what happened. That means the odds are almost overwhelming that whatever formula a reader names, your response will be that you have already tried it and it didn't work--which will not help you, but will insult them, and waste everyone's time :-)
It is simply impossible to distill a whole technical book into a paragraph or two, Nick. Either get a book on the subject or tell us what you tried (temperature, current density, solution composition, anodizing time, etc.) and we can attempt to help you troubleshoot. Good luck with it!
