Ok tanks getting back on track. I need parameters?


OK I know the basics like nitrates, nitrites, amonia etc.. should be zero.

Here are my current readings.
PH 8.0
alk 3.6 maybe a little lower the reading on the chart I have is 2.9 to 3.6 with blue being higher

My Cal is about 480.

Phos is 0

I feel all those are in good range now, but I want to know what are good target numbers to have in my reef tank.

Thanks
Ricky
