Hey, just wanted to check and make sure my parameters look good and I know people here know what's best.

Not sure if i need to specify this but the tank is a 32 gal biocube.
Alkalinity: 9.0 dKH
Calcium: 420 ppm
Magnesium: 1450ppm
Salinity: 1.025
Ammonia: 0
Nitrites: 0
Nitrates: 5
Are my nitrates to low?
Also dont have a phosphate test yet

What corals do you have? Look at natural sea water parameters from where they grow in the wild.

Every webcast of experts says to strive for NSW parameters
