Does anybody know where I can find or can somebody tell me what levels I should be at for the basic stuff such as nitrates, nitrites, calcium, alkalinity, etc. etc.? Also, how do I adjust these levels? I have a 29G Biocube.

Nitrates 0 (Fish Only dont mind really to a certain extent)- water change

Nitrites 0 water change

Ammonia 0 - Water change

Ph 8.3 - Ph buffer

Salinity people vary it from 1.022-27 depending on what you have in there. - Adding RO water to lower, a little salty water to make higher.

Temp 78 Heater/Chiller

Ph, salinity, and temp, you dont want to change really fast by alot, or you will wipe out your live stock.

(These below are averages, people can tell you exactly for what you need) I think you add a liquid for these, but im positive on ones above.

Calcium: 360 ppm

Alkalinity: 9.0

Magnesium 1200
