The numbers I have are :
pH 8.2 – 8.48 daily swing
DKH 9
Ca 450-480
Mg 1340-1360
Nitrates 25ppm
PO3 0.1
The tank is a mixed SPS/LPS with Mandarin gobies. 200 gallons with 350 lbs of live rock, it is 5 months old. Dripping Kalk, Akula skimmer and refugium running on a 18 hour photo period growing cheato and Caulerpa.
Any thoughts as to the long-term viability? These numbers have been remarkably consistent. I would like to get the nitrates down but I just feed too much to support diversity since it is a classroom tank.
