Missing anything?

[zchauvin]

Ok, so Ive started adding some small sps frags to my 1og novo. It was mainly lps but as the time to closing on my home gets closer I am trying to build up a collection of corals I want to put in my large reef. I have only a few smaller basic sps so far..

Green Slimer
Red Planet
Green Fuzzy?
Blue millepora
Orange Passion
Turquoise Stag

I use Fritz salt and my params are -

Alk- 9.8dkh
Ca - 430
Salinity - 1.025
Mag - ?
Nitrate?
Phosphate?

I have been testing the water daily to find that Calcium and Alkalinity were not dropping so I have backed off to every other day until I begin to see a change and need to start dosing. I have added a powerhead as well. Still showing good color and Polyp Extension on the acros.

To keep these things alive and well for the next 6 months are there any other things I need to watch for / change?

Color and polyp extension is usually what I am watching for as long as calcium and alkalinity are stable. I try to keep some nitrates in the tank as my sps are much happier that way.
