Most reef keepers are taught to fear ammonia and wait weeks or months before adding corals. That advice is incomplete.

In this video, we break down the actual biology and chemistry behind coral nutrition and explain why corals can safely go into a reef tank on day one.

You’ll learn:

How corals absorb nutrients directly through their tissues

Why ammonia (NH₃ / NH₄⁺) is a preferred nitrogen source

Why nitrate is not required for coral survival

How corals actively help establish the nitrogen cycle instead of waiting on it

This isn’t opinion or reef folklore.
It’s basic biochemistry applied to reef aquariums.
