I am trying to really stay on top of my levels and re dial in my reactor and would like to know if the following are good targets. Plan is to use the two parts (inlcuding the mag part) to get the tank to the below levels and then reset the reator to hold it there.

Salinity 1.026
Cal 425
Alk 3.5 meq/l
Mag 1325
pH swings between 8.1 and 8.2 depending on time

Thanks for the help

I'm actually just below those levels, but close to maintaining there. I've read up in some old book (Reefs Vol I and Coral reef Vol.I; my old bibles) and figure these were pretty close to NSW, but wanted to push a little more Mag and Calcium. Thanks for confirming
