Ok:
FO/FOWLR: ~1100- 1150
ULNS: ~1150-1250
SOFT: ~1200
MIXED REEF: ~1350-1500
SPS DOMINANT: ~1280- 1400
More Mg for special LPS and SPS that need more and Tridacna clams.
If it gets over it doesn't matter really the whole range for
No Corals: 1000-1300
Corals: 1200-1500 MAX
The most important is to maintain a balance between Ca, Mg and Alk levels, it has to be balanced and not one too much and one too less.
what is the rationale for those suggested values, or for that matter, the need for “balance”?
