An idea I have had for a little while and have been testing out. Wanted to see everyone's input.
Since I have got into the hobby I have always had the idea that if you can pre condition corals and fish (coral mostly) to occasional temperature swings and KH/CAL swings it would lead to a hardier species. I have been playing around with the idea the last year or two and it seems to work. Always thought it was a good idea as everyone has an event or two where conditions become out of wack whether it is due to power outage, being lazy or whatever.
I am still able to achieve good growth and colors, and I believe this method has also made for a more stable captive species.
