In Part 3 of Ryan's sit down with Joe Caparatta, Joe shares his experience with coral farming to help answer questions like, what's the best way to make a colony grow 5 times faster? What's the "bank of ion?" How do we apply K.I.S.S? All of these questions and so many more answered right here in today's discussion. No matter the experience level, the techniques developed in coral farming can provide hobbyists with improved methods for coral care.
