Our Ideal Water Parameters for a Thriving Reef ✨

At New Dawn Aquaculture, we maintain stable, high-quality water conditions to ensure our corals and fish thrive. These are the parameters we strive for in all of our tanks:

Temperature: 24-26°C (75-78°F)
Salinity: 1.026 SG, 35 ppt
pH: 8.1-8.4
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppb
Nitrate: 3-15 ppm
Phosphate: 0.03-0.15 ppm
Alkalinity: 8 dKH
Calcium: 440 ppm
Magnesium: 1320 ppm

Maintaining these levels helps keep our corals colorful, fish healthy, and ecosystems balanced. Whether you’re setting up a new reef or fine-tuning your current system, keeping parameters stable is key to success.

Give Your Coral the Best Start! 🪸✨

Acclimating your Mighty Max Favites properly helps reduce stress and ensures a smooth transition into your reef. Follow these steps for success:

🌡 Temperature Match – Float the sealed bag in your tank for 15-20 minutes to gradually equalize temperature and prevent shock.

🛁 Dip & Inspect – Use a coral dip solution to remove potential pests or hitchhikers before adding the coral to your display tank. Follow the dip’s instructions carefully, and watch for any reactions.

💦 Rinse in Tank Water – After dipping, rinse the coral in a separate container with clean tank water to remove any leftover dip residue. This step helps keep your tank environment safe.

📍 Placement Matters – Find a spot with the right lighting and water flow based on the coral’s needs. Monitor the coral for the next few hours to ensure it adjusts well.

Proper acclimation means healthier, more vibrant corals in the long run!

Light Green Pagoda Cup Coral ✨

Looking for an easy-care LPS coral? Duncanopsammia (Duncan Coral) is a great choice! With its fleshy, extending polyps, it thrives in a variety of tank conditions and is forgiving of small mistakes—just keep your lighting and flow right.

Care Guide

Difficulty: Easy
Lighting: Low-Medium
Water Flow: Medium
Temperament: Aggressive
Placement: Low-Mid

Our Water Parameters

Temperature: 24-26°C (75-78°F)
Salinity: 1.026 SG, 35 ppt
pH: 8.1-8.4
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppb
Nitrate: 3-15 ppm
Phosphate: 0.03-0.15 ppm
Alkalinity: 8 dKH
Calcium: 440 ppm
Magnesium: 1320 ppm

We maintain stability using Brightwell Aquatics Reef Code A & B. Every tank is unique—work with your system’s natural balance instead of forcing specific numbers.

Pro Tip

If your Duncan polyps are fully extended and gently swaying, your flow is just right. Too much flow? They’ll retract. Too much light? They may bleach—adjust placement accordingly.

Not sure which copepod is right for your tank? 🦐 Here’s a quick guide:

🐚 Tigriopus – Best for larger fish and inverts, seeding new tanks, and helping to control slime algae like cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates.

🌊 Apocyclops – A great clean-up crew! These copepods consume detritus and ciliates while serving as a nutritious live food source for picky eaters.

🌱 Tisbe – Perfect for small fish like mandarins, plus they help maintain a healthy substrate by feeding on detritus and microalgae.
