I think the lighting, flow, and nutrients in the water column all play a part in healthy, colorful coral.
I will be utilizing a frag rack to begin with and place the corals near the bottom to acclimate to the light. Then I will eventually move the coral up and try to find where the coral is happy. I will definitely be researching my corals to learn what levels of par and flow that they like.
I will be feeding my coral phytoplankton and I plan on feeding frozen brine and mysis shrimp to the fishies so that will be available. I have not decided on a supplement yet but I'm thinking maybe Reef Roids.

DAILY QUESTION: What has been your biggest challenge in growing corals?

Nominated Cronie Intern - Might be failing?
Biggest challenge for me to date has been pests. I've had dinos, GHA, Aiptasia, and Monti Eating Nudibranches all at one time or another. I've dropped out phosphates and had alkalinity go up and lost some Acros...
DAILY QUESTION: What has been your biggest challenge in growing corals?
Does plumbing the tank to get ready for growing corals count as biggest challenge so far?

Keeping my PO4 and NO3 up
Figuring out flow. You can measure the par of your lights, water quality etc but flow is subjective.
