Hey I acme across this picture and I just wanted to get everyone’s opinions on it. What do you guys keep your levels at or is this pretty accurate?

Yes, except you don't need to test so often once you get an established tank. Don't go chasing numbers. I only test when my corals tell me to, it's been a few years. Temp and Salinity i check every once in a while.

Salinity .025, temp 77, ph 7.6 - 8.4

Yeah, I think that is a good guide, but I would let your tank find its sweet spot and then try to stick with those numbers, don't go chasing after something.

Here is a good video from Red Sea about the different parameters and how they work with your corals.

Far too much suggested testing of things like nitrite and ammonia.

I would range nitrate from 2 to 10 ppm.

Phosphate can get higher OK.

Temp range is on the low side.

pH can go down to 7.8 in most cases and be OK.
