Overview
The ideal conditions for the beginner SPS frags is a well established reef aquarium with bright lighting provided by metal halides. They will also thrive under multiple T-5 or compact fluorescents if placed towards the top in the aquarium.
To maximize their growth rate, it is imperative to maintain a high pH, stable alkalinity and calcium levels, and to keep phosphate and nitrate levels as close to zero as possible. Along with lighting and water quality, SPS corals prefer strong, intermittent water flow within the aquarium. This is best accomplished with a wave maker and multiple power heads.
SPS corals receive a majority of their nutritional requirements from photosynthesis, but will benefit from the addition of various types of zooplankton.
