Just purchased Red Sea KH/Alkalinity Pro and while reading through the manual I came across Optimal levels of salinity, alk, cal, mag according to type of aquarium. There is a chart and it states.
SPS Corals, Frags/ Clams Accelerated growth levels should be:
Salinity 35
Alkalinity 12.6 dKH/ 4.5 meg/l
Ca 465
Mg 1390
SPS Corals - Mature/ Low nutrient Systems Levels should be:
Salinity 35
Alkalinity 8.2 dKH/ 2.9 meg/l
Ca 430
Mg 1310
Is this true? Having higher levels of Alk, Ca, and mag will increase the growth of SPS corals and frags? Has this been proven?
