This is the water parameters for cultivating Hellfire Gold Torch Euphyllia:

  • Calcium: 420 - 440 ppm
  • Alkalinity: 2.86 - 3.93 MEQ/L (8 - 11 dKH)
  • Phosphates: 0
  • Magnesium: 1260 - 1350
  • Strontium: 8 -10
  • Temperature: 75° - 80° F (24° 27° C)
  • Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
  • pH: 8.1 - 8.4
