ive been keeping reef tanks for many years , mostly softys and lps. i have kept some sps but not with great success. I now have a small system that has been set up since the first week of october that is a sps dominate tank and have read where peoplehave been keeping thier alk from 7dkh to 12 dkh and calcuim from 400 to 500 with great growth and color, what are the ideal calcium and alk readings and also where do you keep yours at?
