The Aquarium Cove

We run calcium reactors alongside dosing systems and kalkwasser to maintain stable parameters: Alkalinity 7.9–8.5 dKH, Calcium 450 ppm, Magnesium 1350 ppm, Salinity 1.026, and Nitrates 5–10 ppm. Monthly ICP tests help us monitor trace elements and nutrients, allowing precise adjustments as needed.

All of our corals are homegrown and fully aquacultured. Sourced from trusted growers across the USA, each piece is grown out in-house to ensure a hardier, more resilient coral—not a freshly imported or ocean-collected specimen.

For our SPS corals, we use powerful LED lighting with light levels between 350 and 600 PAR to help them grow strong and show vibrant colors. Our LPS corals get moderate light between 80 and 150 PAR, while softer corals like mushrooms prefer lower light, around 30 to 80 PAR. We carefully match lighting to each coral type to keep them healthy and thriving.
