My tank has been cycled for over a month. I use Red Sea Coral Pro salt. These are the current parameters.

9.2 dKH
1320-1350 Mg
420 Ca
0.06 phosphate
0.40 nitrate

I used Hanna checkers for alk, phos, and nitrate. Mg and Ca are salifert

I am going to have macro algae’s and corals in a mixed reef.

Look great to me, that’s what I run my tank at. I am trying to get my nitrates up a little 1-2 ppm per BRStv info. Having that along with <.1 phosphate will inhibit bad algae growth long term
