Excellent, these 3 must be managed for growth.Okay, so I actually ordered mg, alk and ca. They should arrive anytime now and I’ll update everyone. Thanks a lot
Get MG in the slot first, that will make it easier to manage Alk and CA. Alk needs to remain steady.
Also, I always use my Hanna UL Phosphorus for testing PO4.
I was surprised at the impact of phosphate on the corals. Too much they darken and slow in growth, too little they retract, starve and look generally, unhappy.
I dose phosphate daily to keep this parameter, steady in the 0.75-.1ppm range.
Nitrate is 2-5ppm for me.
