Maintaining a stable and appropriate temperature is critical for the survival of aquatic life.
pH 7.8 - 8.4 potential of HydrogenMeasuring the acidity or alkalinity of water on a 0–14 scale, where 7 is neutral, 7 is alkaline.
NO3 1-20 ppm NitrateWhile less toxic than ammonia, high nitrate levels (above 40–80 ppm) are important to monitor because they can cause fish stress, stunted growth, and harmful algae blooms.
NO2 <0.0001 ppm NitriteIt is a highly toxic, intermediate compound in the nitrogen cycle produced from broken-down ammonia
PO4 0.01 - 0.1 ppm PhosphateIt is essential for plant development but must be managed, as excess levels trigger nuisance algae blooms and inhibit coral calcification.
NH3 <0.1 ppm AmmoniaIt is the primary killer of aquarium fish, causing gill damage, stress, and death
Ca 380 - 450 ppm CalciumSupporting the growth, skeletal structure, and shell formation of corals, mollusks, crustaceans, and coralline algae
KH 8 - 12 dKH AlkalinityIt acts as a shield, neutralizing acids to prevent dangerous pH "crashes" that can harm fish, corals, and plants.
Mg 1200 - 1400 ppm MagnesiumIt enables coral growth by supporting skeletal formation, assists in metabolic processes, and ensures that calcium is available for corals, clams, and coralline algae.
SG 1.023 - 1.026 SG SalinityEssential for maintaining stable, natural water parameters, proper osmoregulation, and stress-free environments for marine fish and corals
ORP 250 - 400 mV Oxidation-Reduction PotentialA higher positive mV indicates clean, oxygen-rich water with high water quality, while low readings indicate high pollution.
In general, corals coming from the genus Montipora takes several coral lifeforms like submassive, laminar, foliaceous, encrusting and branching. Their appearance and coloration are usually mottled in nature. They have corallites that are considered one of the smallest as far as the family of corals is concerned. Their walls usually have an elaborate structure and have a porous texture.
This is the water parameters in cultivating Altered Ego Montipora:
Green and Red Grafted Montipora get its primary nutrition from symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae that are living within their tissues. But despite this symbiotic relationship with algae, we still recommend you do supplemental feeding by adding mysis and brine shrimp in the water.
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Green and Red Grafted Montipora. They should be set in the middle or bottom part of the tank.
Green and Red Grafted Montiporais requires moderate lighting and moderate water flow.
Green and Red Grafted Montipora are purely marine, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
