Hello , new to Hanna checker so ran the test twice. my Hanna alkalinity checker is readings were 8.6 and 8.5 respectively. Great, good or bad ? I've read people have theirs anywhere from 7 to 11 ! What is the gold standard in reef keeping according to pros ? And not just opinions, but hard facts. I have fish, LPS and SPS.
Tank is 3 months old and I use boxed ocean water that is 1.026 salinity.
a stock 30 gallon Coralife Biocube
I use ceramic porous bioballs, chempur blue, activated charcoal in my filter chamber..
Temperature set at 78 °
2 clowns and a baby Royal Gramma, pepperment shrimp and various snails..
all other parameters are good..
Thanks
