Husbandry

Protocols & Practices

  • Limit each tank to six or seven coral species so colonies grow large and natural.
  • Let colonies reach full size instead of packing in 30-50 small frags.
  • Combine metal halide + T5 (Hamilton Cebu) with Reef Brite XHO for color pop.
  • Avoid overcrowding species that would grow into and shade each other.
