This are the water parameters for cultivating Flowering Aussie Turbinaria:</p> <ul> <li>Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm</li> <li>Alkalinity: 2.86 - 3.93 MEQ/L (8 - 11 dKH)</li> <li>Phosphates: 0</li> <li>Magnesium: 1200 - 1350</li> <li>Strontium: 8 -10</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Temperature: </span>72° - 78° F (22° <strong>- </strong>26° C)</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Salinity / Specific Gravity:</span> 1.023 - 1.025</li> <li>pH: 8.1 - 8.4</li> </ul> </div>

<p>The Flowering Aussie Turbinaria get its primary nourishment from the symbiotic zooxanthellae living within their tissues. But despite this, we still recommend you do supplemental feeding by adding brine shrimp and mysis.</p>
