I have just purchased my first hard coral and am wondering if you more experienced reef-keepers can give me some advice. I now have a green goniapora and it seems to be flourishing after one week. I am keeping the following levels:
dkh @ 10.5
Ca @ 430
PH @ 8.4
Temp @ 80
Trites and Ammonia @ 0
Trates currently @ 2.5 or less
Adding Kents essential elements weekly
Using Kents Liquid Reactor for Ca additives with an occasional switch to Tech A and B about once monthly instead of that dose of Reactor.
Tech I for iodine supplementing ( although i havent purchased an iodine tester as yet ( just weekly per instructions)
Skimming and wetdry filtering along with HOB type canister/sand filter.
Is there anything in the "fine print" of eef keeping for this particular coral that one usually finds out about once there is a coral death. I do not want anything to happen to this so please advise of the "pearls of Goniapora keeping
