Growing corals successfully is as easy as 1, 2 and 3 or Calcium, Alkalinity and Magnesium. Get these BIG three in order and stable and you can grow any thing you want to grow!
Over the years I've struggled with certain corals that others have had high success rates with. Only when I achieved proper and stable levels of Calcium, Alkalinity and Magnesium was I able to be successful. STABILITY IS THE KEY!! I've found that corals will somewhat adapt to flow, lighting conditions etc. but not these big 3 elements.
Can you agree with this assessment and what would you add?
