SPS Corals are Easy to keep 

Good video, your description in the first minute and a half was exceptional.

I am obsessing about salt water aquariums to avoid facing the effort and discipline to act in quite a different area of my life. These points apply to my issue, so thank you very much for this video today. The trouble is, they do not make a test kit for my issue! 🙄 ❤

Bravo, great video. having just shut down an acro dominated 80L tank to restart it monti dominated (wanted more variety), I agree, SPS are easier than LPS. No sweepers, they all take decent flow, they all take 100+ par. They are definitely easier to manage.

Love these “philosophical” topics! Please try to go down these types of rabbit holes more with Alex Reefdork on your weekly livestreams! 👏

I found out that if the water has the alkaline higher than 8 dkh or 9dkh and plus, the more sentive acroporas would simply dissolve its flesh; there are some hardy acroporas that will resist fluctuations and so on. Some other acros like it even in a lower alkaline range 7 dkh alkaline is good and of course ph needs to be 7.8 to 8.3 how ever it needs constant fresh air to keep it up. Cool temperature helps maybe 76 farenheits and 23 celcius. It has to be an stablished aquarium where the water had its rocks for at least 3months.with good water parameter. Thanks for your video..

I agree too but sadly this hobby has a a certain degree of “pay to win” aspect in it, and for real Acros are it’s own thing, it’s different than almost all other SPS, there are a lot of choices of SPS that are very easy to keep, maybe easier then LPS and soft corals definitely. Leptoseris, Pachyseris, Pavona, Cyphastraea, Stylocoeniella and even Turbinaria are one of many examples out there

By the title I thought this was going to measure the hardness of the corals when trying to cut them! The worst to cut for me is stylophora (but one of the easiest to keep).

It gets hard when you mix, also most hard core acro tanks have very few fish, makes it so much easier to keep nutrients in control.

Congratulations 👍🏼🐟🐠

Also Montipora Setosa has weird growth patterns

Hysterix is a Seriatopora. :)

Can't believe i actually agree with everything you said 😂

Any acro that has been in the hobby for a decent amount of time is easy. Those genetics expressed are adapted to tank conditions.

Need 1 to 2 years matured tank before you move on to sps i have mastered it 25 years of marine tanks i just started dosing k+ AND A ELEMENTS even tho i bi weekly water change iam iching to send an ipc test off i found in the end dont aim for zero nitrates and phosphates seem to unlock tthe system

throw money at it, it gets easier!

Is 1.023 too low for soft corals

Im terrified to own ANY coral at all.

Of course sps corals are hard they have a stony skeleton

sps tank is more slavery
