Serious Reefs Coral 101 is a clear, practical series of coral care guides designed to help reef tank owners successfully introduce, grow, and maintain healthy coral in saltwater aquariums. Each guide focuses on proven methods that remove guesswork and increase success rates for both beginner-friendly corals and expert-only species where accuracy truly matters.

Our coral care guides walk reefers step by step through the most important factors for long-term coral health, including proper acclimation and introduction, lighting and PAR requirements, water flow, reef tank chemistry, feeding and nutrition, placement strategies, growth behavior, and identification of common coral pests and problems.

Whether you are keeping soft corals, LPS, or SPS, Coral 101 provides straightforward troubleshooting tips to help diagnose issues like poor polyp extension, fading color, slow growth, or tissue loss before they become major problems. Each coral profile is written to be practical, repeatable, and based on real reef tank experience rather than theory alone.
