Hi,
I have an LPS dominated reef with a couple softies/zoas, do not plan to keep SPS. My parameters as of today morning are:
Temp 78F, salinity 34-35ppt (calibrated refractometer), Alk 7.3dKH, calcium 412ppm, magnesium 1300ppm. Looks like most people have all those parameters higher, although I am currently close to NSW levels. I was thinking of trying to raise them to 8-8.5 dkH, ~1400ppm Magnesium and keep calcium 400-450pm. I understand that order in which you do it is also important, I was planning to start with raising Alk.
My reef is 4 months in a new tank, but LR is from my 6 and 5yo tanks.
