Which they are the ideal parameters?

[Roberto CRC]

I have many doubts with the parameters of my Reef.

I have seen most used parameters here:

Ca 430
Kh 8-9
Mg 1280 - 1320

or similar to those ranges.

But what it is really a suitable parameter for a mixed reef?

Red is recommended the following parameters

Atos and the following:

Accelerated growth: No3: 1-2 ppm, Po4: 0.1 ppm.
Intense coloration: No3: 0.25 ppm, Po4: 0.02.

What would be an appropriate combination of parameters for adequate coloration and some growth.

Ca: ?
Kh: ?
Mg: ?
No3: ?
Po4: ?

I detail what I think the range of desirable parameters are, and why, in this article:

Thanks, I have a question.

When No3 = 0.2 ppm is mentioned and in the Red Sea have a test result of 0.25 ppm, this is more? I'm still above recommended?

Also, it is meaning ULNS?

These are the parameters of my fish tank, you think?

Ca 450
Kh 10,9
Mg 1350
No3 0,25
Po4 0,08
