So I’m starting some corals to see how it goes. I picked up a hammer, candy cane and I think a goniopora? Anyone know for sure? Currently the hammer and the candy cane are mid level and have soft flow. The mystery one is at the bottom so it would get lower flow. Is this correct? I’m only using the stock biocube lights.

All my parameters are good except the alkalinity is just under and Seachem Alk doesn’t seem to raise it. Anyone have good results with something else to bump up Alk?

Thanks, Paul
