Observations

As coral density increases, colonies are selectively thinned and moved. Plans are underway to establish a dedicated frag system to better support long-term propagation.

In addition to coral growth, this tank plays an active role in nutrient management. Dragon's Breath macroalgae is maintained within the system and used as a form of biological nutrient export, contributing to overall system balance.
