T5's, Metal Halides, or LED's can all grow Favites Corals when the proper PAR levels are provided. We recommend a 14-20K color spectrum for best coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLighting Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to moderate (PAR 120-250) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Flow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAggressiveness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-aggressive \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRange:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia, Indo Pacific \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e Faviidae \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75-80° F; sg 1.024-1.026 (1.025 is ideal); pH 8.1-8.4 Ca 420-440 ppm, Alk 8-9.5 dKH, Mg 1260-1350, Nitrates \u0026lt;10ppm, Phosphates, \u0026lt; .10ppm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Chemistry: \u003c\/strong\u003eIt is important that proper calcium (420-440 ppm), alkalinity (8-9.5 dkh - run it 7-8 if you are carbon dosing) , and magnesium levels (1260-1350 ppm) are maintained. Raising magnesium levels gradually up to 1400-1600 ppm can help to combat algae outbreaks, just keep CA and Alk in line as you raise the Mg. Nitrates should be below 10 ppm and phosphates should be below .10 ppm. We recommend doing a water change when Nitrate levels rise to 10 ppm. It is important to replace your phosphate media when phosphates rise to .10 ppm. Media Reactors make the most efficient use of your phosphate media by fluidizing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Reef By Steele","offers":[{"title":"1","offer_id":51625811312946,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/1188\/5618\/files\/StrawberryLemonade.png?v=1787487464","url":"https:\/\/reefbysteele.com\/products\/sdc-strawberry-lemonade-cyphastrea","provider":"Reef By Steele","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
