Parameters; What are yours?

[Servo]

Ca 365

Waterchange one week ago with new media in reactor 2 weeks ago. All is well with equipment.

Calcium levels corrected. you cant have a pretty healthy tank with bad numbers. What are yours and what do you need to do?

thanks Ryan
you made me think I better check my Ca as I haven't checked it in months, I usually check alk every week

Mg = 1425
Ca = 450
Alk = 8.6 it's been dead on since readjusting the Ca reactor
salinity = 1.026 (35ppt)
PO4=undectable
NO3=at most 0.2

Mg - 1440
Ca - 425
Alk 9.5
Salinity - 1.025

which magnesium and nitrate tests are you using? im not too thrilled about the nitrate api test kit, its really hard to tell what your 'trates are when they are below 10ppm.

Salifert for me. I use API for quick alk checks, but everything else is salifert. Never check for nitrates anymore. Haven't had em since I started running a fuge.

Good idea, I was going to post to see if I should leave well enough alone or bump up some of my parameters:

Mg: 1350ppm
Ca: 410ppm
Alk: 9.5
Sal: 1.025

Dosing BRS 2-part daily and weekly 10% water changes.
