Thanks.

Keeping healthy and nicely coloured sps corals have always been my main objective since I bought my first Montipora digitata frag for my nano tank six years ago. Any other type of coral is just distraction for me because I have to compromise. If I keep, for example, lps corals, I have to compromise flow and light intensity. For this reason, I sold all my clams and lps corals and went 100% sps last September. Because my tank is shallow, no matter where I put my lps corals, there was too much light.

I have got really good growth at the moment, but the coral colouration can be a lot better. I am working on it though.
