Placement is the fastest way to improve coral health

Many coral issues aren’t “mystery diseases.” They’re mismatch problems: too much light, too little flow, too close to a stinger neighbor, or too many changes at once.

Think in zones

  • High light / high flow: many SPS (once stable)
  • Medium light / medium flow: many LPS and hardy corals
  • Lower light / gentle flow: many softies and shaded species

Acclimation rule

When in doubt, start lower and move up slowly. Corals can bleach from sudden light increases.

Flow + filtration support

Dead spots collect detritus and irritate tissue. Upgrading flow often improves coral extension within days.

Browse: Aquarium Filters, Pumps & Media.

Stability helpers

After rearranging rockwork or making changes, stability support products can help you avoid mini-cycles.

Browse: Aquarium Chems, Bacters & Cultures.

Adventure Gear (frag transport)

For frag swaps and pickups, stable temperature and secure containers protect coral tissue.

Browse: Pet Adventure Gear.
