What are Normal Parameters for a 35 Gallon Tank
Dear all. Wisdom requested for all experience reefers.
I have kept a 35 gallon reef tank for 6+ years but never tested any parameters. Never understood / unable to manage any of it anyways. The only thing I test is salinity with a Refratometer during weekly water changes. Otherwise, everything was done by trial and error.
I consider my tank pretty successful because I have kept 1 hammer, 1 frog spawn, 1 Leather, 1 pollop, and some others for all these years and they have been multiplying and growing to the point i am running out of space.
Recently I have jump the gun and went ahead to buy and Neptune Apex System that comes with 4 probes. All of a sudden being bombarded by all of these conflicting parameters.
I am looking for wisdom of what is considered normal / required parameters for the following:
1. Conductivity / Salinity in ppt measurement
2. pH probe
3. ORP probe
4. Temperature prob
5. NItrate
6. Nitrite
7. Phosphate
8. Ammonia
9. Alkalinity
Also, input for any other parameters of Nitrate, Nitrite, and etc is greatly appreciated.
