Reefing Radio – “Keeping It Stable” pt. 1

In this episode, Chris, Gareth, and James dive into one of reefing’s biggest challenges – keeping things stable. From alkalinity and calcium to pH, magnesium, and even the microbiome, we share how we approach stability in our own tanks and what we think really matters.

We cover:

• Using (and questioning) things like Chemiclean and bottled bacteria
• Why salinity might be the most underrated parameter
• The role of microbiome diversity in a healthy reef
• Balancing stability with observation – testing vs just watching your corals
• Our own tank updates: pipefish, pectinia, Apex setups, summer struggles, and more
