[bosstoneschick]

can anyone help me with parameters? my tank is almost 4 months old now and wanna look at easy corals

ammonia 0 ppm
nitrite 0 ppm
nitrate 10 ppm
phosphate 0.25 ppm
calcium 480 ppm
kh 35.8 ppm
total alk 4 meq/l
mag 1250 mg/l
salinity 1.025

Everything looks good. Start with some easy ones and see how it goes.

It's not your params, it your tanks ecological maturity. Give your bacteria a chance to develop. If you want easy coral I would start with some zoanthids and after another few months perhaps a candy cane. Both of which you can obtain on the cheap from local reefers.

Zoas are the best starter coral. Basically unkillable. Also pulsing Xenia. I love the stuff but most people hate it

 

[Angeleyes reefraf]

Yeah as long as they don't come with nudibrancs. No matter what corral you do make sure you do your research 1st and in my opinion pick up part of the world in stick with it Don't get sucked in with palyy Thoas

Params look mostly fine. Ideally your phosphate would be lower, but would not stress about it with some beginner

can anyone help me again lol i finally mixed up my own salt now and did a 2 gallon water change with my salt i mixed..these are my parameters now...are these okay? (using reef crystals from petco)

i added my new mixed water....total alk 6, mag 1250, calcium 480, phos 0, kh dkh 8 or 143.2, ph 8.2, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 5...temp 79F and salinty 0.0125

That is even better keep your nitrate down with water changes and you will be fine. If you have a good light you are ready for some softys.
