WATER CHANGES IN MODERN REEF AQUARIA: A POSITION PAPER BY MODERN REEF – AKIL

WATER CHANGES IN MODERN REEF AQUARIA (Explained for Beginners at the end of the article) A position paper by Modern Reef – Akil Abstract Water changes remain one of the most debated practices in contemporary reef aquarium husbandry. With advances in proportional dosing systems and laboratory-grade synthetic sea salts, some aquarists question the necessity of […]

STABILITY OVER SPECTACLE: A SCIENTIFIC LOOK AT ALKALINITY, PH, AND CORAL HEALTH

In reef aquaria, the stability of alkalinity and pH is far more critical for coral health than the exact hour at which alkalinity is dosed. Whether alkalinity is added all at once in a single dose before lights-on or spread out throughout the day is far less critical than keeping the overall carbonate system stable […]

THE IMPACT OF LIGHT SCHEDULES, WATER CLARITY, AND PAR LOSS ON NUTRIENT LEVELS IN REEF AQUARIUMS

At Modern Reef, we specialize in ICP and Reef Laboratory analysis, providing advanced insights into the chemical and physical parameters of reef aquariums. One of the unique parameters we test is water clarity, which directly affects the PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) levels reaching corals and photosynthetic organisms. Reduced PAR due to poor water clarity is […]
