Okay, so my 7 gallon has been up and running since the beginning of February now. It seems to be doing very well. All of the coral look happy and the fish and shrimp seem very healthy. I recently bought some new test kits to go more in depth into the tank and its needs and here's what I found today.
Nitrates (NYOS Kit) 12
Phosphates (hanna checker) 0.39
Alkalinity (hanna checker) 8.3
Ph (API kit) 7.8
I don't have my calcium or magnesium test kits yet cause of back order at my LFS. Hopefully they will be in tomorrow. I got my alkalinity checker Thursday and checked the water then and it was 9.0 so it has dropped some. I do once a week water changes with the next one due Friday. Any tips, advice, warnings, criticism or anything you can give me moving forward to keep the tank happy and healthy I would greatly appreciate!
Also, I just received my package of BRS 2 part while I'm writing this. Recent pic of tank below.
Thanks!
