Description
Corals are probably the most challenging yet most rewarding of all pets, with their mesmerizing shapes, colors and forms.
As you might expect, to successfully establish a thing of such beauty as a slice of tropical reef at home requires some key strategies over and above any other aquarium.
Reef keeping can be a complete minefield for the novice and the under-educated expert as well. Here are some reasons why: coral compatibility and requirements being hard to meet, the need for constant pristine water quality, knowing about the right equipment and chemicals, having enough knowledge of corals themselves, making common mistakes…
“Success With Corals” written by saltwater scientist Andrej Brummer tells you exactly what is required to give you and your corals the best chance of success and avoid the issues where most people go wrong with reef aquariums.
Andrej teaches that all corals have 4 fundamental requirements to survive: water quality, water movement, appropriate lighting and food and shows you how to provide these consistently.
This book will teach you how to:
- Choose the exact components that create an optimized life support system for your corals.
- Break through the overwhelm of reef lighting systems and understand exactly what your corals need and how to provide this within your particular budget.
- Place your corals ideally in your tank regarding light and water flow.
- How to choose the right corals for your tank; those that are compatible, easy enough to care for, will get along with other marine life and thrive in your aquatic environment.
- How to select the right specimen at your local fish store and not bring home one of the doomed 80% of corals.
- The easiest way to create pristine water quality for your reef.
- What testing and chemical components you really need to know about.

- The heads up on the most common coral pests, parasites and diseases.
- Use supplementary feeding to provide up to 50% of your corals energy requirements.
