Essential gear

  • Mature reef rock system
  • Reef lighting
  • Powerhead / wavemaker
  • Alkalinity / Ca / Mg tests
  • Coral glue

Water temperature

24–26°C

Salinity

1.024–1.026SG

Lighting

150–300PAR

Flow

Medium–strong

Plate surface stays free of debris

Growth

Spreads fairly quickly

Plating forms spread sideways; branching forms grow upward

Nutrition

More stable in low nutrients

Stable parameters beat frequent feeding

Suggested habitat

Upper–mid reef, placed by form: plating on a side mount or slant, branching with vertical headroom. Acclimate at moderate PAR before moving up.

Plates are husbandry references—not build plans or generator parameters. Check your own water, vessel, and stocking before you act.
