COURSE HIGHLIGHTS

A step-by-step roadmap to a thriving reef.

Follow a clear progression—from planning and cycling to coral health and long-term stability. Each module builds practical skills, explains the “why,” and helps you avoid the common mistakes that cost time, money, and livestock.

Start with a proven plan

Define your goals, choose the right tank and gear, and build a setup that fits your budget—before you buy anything you’ll regret later.


Master water chemistry

Learn what to test, what the numbers mean, and how to make safe adjustments so your reef stays stable instead of swinging week to week.


Dial in flow & filtration

Set up filtration, circulation, and nutrient export the right way—so algae stays manageable and your corals get what they need to grow.


Stock smart, not fast

Use a careful stocking sequence, quarantine basics, and compatibility guidelines to reduce losses and build a peaceful, resilient community.


Fix issues with confidence

Get a simple troubleshooting framework for algae, cyano, cloudy water, and stressed corals—so you know what to change (and what not to).

OUR APPROACH

Reef success isn’t luck—it’s a repeatable system. This curriculum takes you from planning and setup through cycling, stocking, and long-term stability, so you can make confident choices, avoid common mistakes, and keep a reef that thrives month after month.
