📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm
📍 Placement
Place on the sand bed or lower rockwork where the coral can fully expand without contact from neighbouring corals. Provide gentle, indirect flow to avoid tissue damage while allowing the coral to inflate naturally.
