so, i am deciding that i am nearly ready to dive into coral, but want to get thoughts on my current parameters. i havent done anything with salinity. i will be slowly increasing salinity up to the 1.026 over time, so i will eventually get there over the next few weeks if everything else is good.
with that said, the tests that i am able to do right now are calcium, Ph, phosphate, KH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate. i know there are more, but i dont know if others are mandatory or required. im going to try to stick to just a few different types of corals, and am not going to go insane with a tank full of them quite yet.
ammonia-0-.25
nitrite-0
nitrate 10-20 avg
phosphate-.25-.5
calcium-380
KH-9
Ph-8.1
