Well my plumbing is almost completely done and then it is time to add the sand and rock. Here is my question i would like to have a mixed tank with two seahorses and some Friendly fish. My question is the water parameters. Here is what I believe would be the best please let me know if i am wrong. My biggest concerns are the Temperature and the Specific Gravity, based on a mixed tank i want it to be safe to all fish. Thanks

Parameter

Specific Gravity 1.024
Temperature 75
pH 8.1 - 8.4
Alkalinity 8 - 12 dKH
Ammonia (NH3) Undetectable
Nitrite (NO2) Undetectable
Nitrate - Nitrogen (NO3) 0 - 10 ppm
Phosphate (PO4) < 0.2 ppm
Calcium 380 - 450 ppm
Magnesium 1250 - 1350 ppm
Iodine 0.06 - 0.10 ppm
Strontium 8 - 14 ppm
