I have a couple of SPS frags coming in for my first time with SPS corals. I have a 125 gallon tank. Right now I have some duncan, lepto, hammer, torch, brain, zoas, and mushrooms. I got a small piece of bali green Hydnophora last week which seems to be doing well. I have some ORA green Birdsnest and purple/green stylo I am getting friday. I have been doing some research and I have an idea of how to keep them but looking for any last minute input from you all. Flow right now is pretty weak but have some high flow areas. I have a nice array of different flow zones which I am liking so I can keep a mixed reef until I decide If I want to go full SPS tank. Lighting is reefbreeders photon 60 inch. Aquamaxx em 200 skimmer. Refugium reverse photoperiod.
Parameters
nitrates 0ppm API test
Calcium 420ppm Red Sea
Alkalinity 8.0 dKh Red Sea
Mag 1400 Red Sea
Actually do not have a way to measure phosphates at the moment. Do have a little algae. Maybe have to scrap the glass off some once a week or so. I am getting a hanna checker but for now I am just going off how much algae is in the tank. Let me know if you guys see any red flags or things I need to think about. Also any other easier starter SPS recommendations would be good. I am going to get some monti cap soon as well if all goes well.
