• pH: 8.1–8.4
• Alkalinity: 8–10 dKH
• Calcium: 400–450 ppm
• Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
Stable water chemistry is essential for preserving deep red coloration, tissue thickness, and long‑term coral health.
LIGHTING
• Moderate

Moderate lighting enhances yellow saturation and fluorescence. Gradual acclimation is recommended to prevent colour stress or retraction.
PLACEMENT
