Now these are just stats In My Opinion. All my palys and zoas i keep in lower to medium lighting and the colors seem the best there, for me. My whole tank has medium flow with the higher third of the tank having high flow. Now on my hardiness ratings, i have never had any melt, or die, or not be healthy but that might just be me. These are my opinions and other people im sure will have conflicting ideas. No one is wrong everyone has different experiences. So dont purchase coral based on these opinions and expect the same results. You may have worse or better results. Thanks

How many Polyps did you start with to get 3 new ones a month?

I hate this one.

My friend and I both bought a 3 polyp frag from the same guy on the same day at a frag swap.

I still have 3 Polyps with no growth and he has 10 Polyps!

Why am I cursed?

What am I doing wrong?

I have been reefing for 5.5 years and he has only been doing this for 6 months.

Every tank is different. I have friends that some stuff does great for them and in my tank it's the same. But I also notice people that have been longer in the hobby complicate things. New reefers keep things simpler and their stuff does better

Boycan I agree with that. I still don't understand what "ozone" is
For me: Skimmer + refugium = happy zoas, happy LPS, happy SPS
