Paramaters too low?

[Bent17]

Hi all,

I have a 425 G2 and its got mostly sps and some lps.. looking for the ideal paramaters..

Currently my salinity is 34 kh at 8 cal 400 and mag 1300.

Should I up them up a bit? I have read moxed reviews so not quite sure

 

[Mr. Mojo Rising]

How are your corals doing? I mean, can corals tell the difference if the mag is 1300 or 1350, or calcium at 400 or 450?

If the corals are doing well and your tank is stable at those params, I would leave it alone.

I tend to not see the coral colour popping.. not sure if related.

What about nitrate and phosphate levels?
These two are also mandatory in trace amounts, stable week to week, which helps feed everyone including corals.

The other parameters are fine is they are stable, day to day.

While levels are important, the stability of them, especially salinity, Alk, nitrate and phosphate is king.

Anyway we can see pictures of your tank and coral?

SPS may dull down in higher nutrients.

So whats the best range to be in? Pic not the best

 

[Bent17]

Any suggestions?

 

[Pistondog]

Your params look fine. And tank looks great.
Stay the course.

I’ve run mine for 4 months at similar values 8, 400,1280 , 10 and .1
But I’m experimenting at 9,430,1350,10,.05-8 well just because I can haha
Also, your error margin is reduced at the second params which for me is a safety strategy

 

[Bent17]

Yeah true you are safer with higher paramaters I guess
