Holding tank for coral/parameters

[fishkeeprian]

Hello,

I am using Kent reef salt, and tested last night, the following results;

ALK: 8.6
MAG:1440
CALCIUM: 500+
NITRATE: 10PPM
PHOS: 0.09
SG: 1.025
TEMP: 25.7 - 26 DEGREES C

I am expecting some corals today (Zoas, Chalice), are the above ranges acceptable. I'm going to change my salt to Redsea Blue bucket to keep the parameters in line where I need them.

I have added some GFO to lower phosphates.

Any advice welcome.

If you have a display that they will eventually be placed into as a permanent home, try to match the parameters as closely as possible. When the quarantine time concludes it'll be less stressful when you move them.

...but yes, your corals should be fine with those parameters.

I agree that the corals likely will be okay. You might see some browning with those nutrient levels, but that's hard to predict.
