Something I’ve always loved since beginning the hobby are arcopora and torch corals. Theyre both the hardest and most sensitive to care for. Each having specific care of course.
For me. I found the best nutrient range to keep these are.
alk 10
Phos .2
Nitrate 30
Mag 1500
Calc 500
not until yesterday i found my corals struggling a little because i forgot to refil my dose bottles . All good.
The 2 biggest keys of success I have found so far in this hobby is keeping the parameters as stable as possible.
And using anti bacterial meds in the entire tank via cipro and amoxicillin. Although i do not personally use amoxicillin.
A basic guideline for it is talked about here.
Dosing cipro i think is a huge key. I have a 90x marine waterbox.
So my total gallons is about 90 give or take some because of the rock work.
I will dose about 5-10 mls of a 500mg cipro pill diluted in 50mls of RO.
I found that dosing torches that are about to get bdj in cipro and coral rx helps as well. I have stopped the disease on 3 occasions because of it.
I definitely want these corals to be “easy”. That means sharing as much success we get with them.
Its been a year since i started and ive definitely had a good amount of success.

Broadcast cipro dosing?
Hi all , wondering if anyone has a guideline to broadcasting cipro in a whole tank. Treating an anemone in a QT would be ideal but I sadly just don’t have the time / tanks to do that. I have cipro and I’m thinking of dosing it to the whole tank , there are a couple of anemones that don’t loook...
