Common Mistakes to Avoid

please follow the path for success!

  • One of the biggest mistakes in SPS keeping is constantly adjusting levels instead of focusing on stability over time.

    Common issues include:


    • chasing exact numbers daily (alkalinity, calcium, nutrients)

    • frequent dosing changes or corrections

    • reacting too quickly to minor fluctuations

    SPS corals don’t just need “perfect numbers” - they need consistent conditions over weeks and months. Rapid swings are far more damaging than slightly imperfect parameters.

  • Many hobbyists place SPS straight into intense light and strong flow thinking it’s “what they need to thrive.”

    This often causes:


    • tissue bleaching from light shock

    • tip burn or RTN/STN from flow stress

    • prolonged acclimation failures

    SPS perform best when light and flow are increased gradually, allowing corals to adapt to the system rather than forcing ideal conditions immediately.

  • A very common modern reefing mistake is pushing nutrients too low in pursuit of “clean SPS colour.”

    This can lead to:


    • pale or pastel colouring that lacks depth

    • burnt tips or tissue recession

    • poor polyp extension and slow growth

    SPS corals need a balanced system with available nitrates and phosphates, along with dissolved organics and trace elements. Ultra-sterile systems often look clean but lack the nutrition SPS need long term.
