I was asked what it takes to get NPS corals to thrive, here's my answer. ...
First they're living, trying to get them to thrive. ...
Coral magazine had an issue Jan-Feb 2020. On nps. When it comes to nps, they need a dedicated tank, and you must do your homework , alot of homework, willing to get your hands dirty (figure of speech), in other words experiment,experiment, experiment. .... till you succeed. Or somewhat succeed. See my thread , I've done most dirty work, got to think outside the box, if you want to be successful with these corals. Here's an example I came back 2017 and did my homework and I've been doing R&D work on Carnation corals and similar softies, from 1983 to 1989, with little success today we have access to a lot of information and equipment that helps us be more successful, so when I say thinking outside the box again when I return in 2017 I set up a refugium which was approximately 150 gallons outside next to the room where the display tank was, and in the refugium I had a hundred and twenty oysters, Pacific oysters and 80 survive and the system worked beautifully , but it wasn't successful because there was still some things that affected much more success. I won't go into details but it deals with filtration and water flow Etc.
What really open my eyes is when we had the Indo ban in 2018, that really open my eyes. And now we're going through this virus and flights to bring in live corals and fish are affected, so I tell everybody now whatever fish or corals you are getting you've got to have the mentality they are the last ones on Earth. Take care of them and hope for the best.
