hi,can you guys tell me what ratings my water should be? i mean whats the rating for good water...

[sir_dudeguy]

amonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate as close to 0 as possible...under 10 is best
temp 80 ish
sg 1.025 or 6
phosphates close to 0 as possible
calcium 400-450
pH 8.3 or so
um....theres others like mag and alk, but i honestly dont know what those should be...i never realy paid attention to those cuz i just got softies and they dont really care what those are (or if they do, then i guess mine is good lol, cuz they're growin fast :) )
