Acropora corals, known for their vibrant colors and branching structures, are a popular choice for reef aquariums. However, they are considered challenging corals to keep, requiring a stable and well-established reef tank with specific water parameters, high lighting, and strong water flow.  Here's a more detailed look at Acropora in an aquarium: 1. Tank Setup and Water Quality: Established Reef Tank: Acropora thrive in mature reef tanks with a well-established biota and stable water chemistry.  Water Parameters: Temperature: 75-82°F (24-28°C).  Salinity: 1.025.  pH: 8.0-8.4.  Alkalinity: 8-12 dKH.  Calcium: 400-450 ppm.  Magnesium: 1250-1350 ppm.  Nitrates: <5 ppm.  Phosphates: <0.01 ppm.  Water Changes: Regular water changes are crucial to maintain water quality and keep nitrates and phosphates low. 2. Lighting: High Intensity: Acropora require bright lighting, typically provided by T-5s, powerful LEDs, or metal halides. L
