GOALS! Any tips for starting with some basic SPS?
I started with montipora, birdsnest, pavona, leptoseris, pavona, and green slimer acropora. All of these are considered "beginner" sps coral. I initially had difficulty keeping them because my tank wasn't mature enough. After about 8 months, the coral began to grow out. Over the last two years, I upgraded the lights and flow, and added some more acropora. Stability of parameters, especially alkalinity are key to happy sps coral. Here is another vid outlining some of those tips and more. Happy Reefing!
