Watch polyp extension, tissue inflation, and coloration when adjusting placement. Acropora does best with strong random flow and very stable alkalinity, salinity and nutrients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWater Chemistry\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStable parameters are more important than chasing exact numbers. A practical reef range is alkalinity around 7.5–9.0 dKH, calcium 400–450 ppm, and magnesium 1250–1400 ppm with measurable nitrate and phosphate. Avoid rapid swings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost photosynthetic corals receive much of their energy from light, but appropriate coral foods and naturally available plankton can support growth. If target feeding, use small portions and avoid overfeeding the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAquaGemCorals Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive new corals time to settle before making repeated adjustments. Stable water chemistry, appropriate light, and suitable flow usually produce better long-term results than constantly moving the coral.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aquagemcorals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52749698236698,"sku":null,"price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/1239\/6570\/files\/Assorted-Acro_2bcc66ee-79c4-4882-b46b-19317863b981.jpg?v=1787869324","url":"https:\/\/aquagemcorals.com\/products\/1058-assorted-acro","provider":"AquaGemCorals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
