rite salt levels

[lee09]

hi there was just wondering wat salt levels should be for keeping corals mines currently sat at 1.026 :fish1:

1.025 or 1.026 is what I aim for. Just as important, however, are all the other water parameters. Ammonia and Nitrite MUST be 0, Nitrate I try to keep below 5 and I shoot for barely detectable, Calcium should be 400-450, Alkalinity somewhere above 8dKH but below 11, and Magnesium 1300 - 1350.

phosphates aren't even on the scale,,, nitrates are 10 whice I need to lower im struggling a little with brown sand cant remember wat the words called :deadhorse1:

I like 1.025 because it gives you .001 wiggle room in either direction.
