Hey ocean lovers! 🌊 Ever wondered how to start your own mini coral reef at home? Here’s a quick guide to creating a small marine ecosystem in your aquarium: 1. Choose a tank of at least 20 gallons to give your corals space to grow. 2. Set up a saltwater environment with a salinity level of 1.023-1.025. 3. Install an LED light system to mimic natural sunlight, crucial for coral growth. 4. Add live rock as a base, which helps filter the water and provides habitat for marine life. 5. Introduce beginner-friendly corals like soft corals or polyps. 6. Maintain water parameters by testing regularly for pH, nitrate, and calcium levels. 7. Feed your corals with phytoplankton or specialized coral food once or twice a week. 8. Keep the tank clean by performing a 10-20% water change every two weeks. Share your coral journey using
