I just wanted a critic or some suggestions to get my water a little better. The LFS where it was tested said everything was good. So im looking for thoughts and advice. I posted a picture of the results.
high nitrates. I find it odd your Mag is below than normal sea water while maintaining a high Cal, everytime I have dipped below 1350 Mag, Cal and Alk would drop as these two are regulated by Mag
strange
What are your tank goals ? Set up ? Equipment ? Lighting? Size ? Filtration? How Long has this tank been set up ? Is this a fish only tank ? Reef tank with softies ? are your goals LPS or SPS corals ?
Alk 158 / about 9 dKH is Fine
pH 8 is fine
phosphate is about 10 times higher than I would keep it. How are they testing for that?
Ca is a bit high, but won't hurt anything
Mg is a little low, but fine.
NH3 & NO2 is zero, so fine
Nitrate is high
New tank, I'm guessing? How are they testing for these parameters?
Yea it's still kinda new, 2 months and 2weeks exactly, 50 gal. Mostly softies, one hammer and a ultra BTA. I have cheto and dragons breath in the display. Cuc, tang, foxface, two clowns, emerald crab, a diamond gobby and a sixline wrasse.
