Hi all,
I have a 55 gallon tank with CPR hang on refugium with chaeto, reef octopus hang on skimmer classic, aquaclear 70 with filter floss, BRS GFO, carbon in bags.
I've been using Reef Crystals salt. I changed about 10-20% on December 23. Today, January 5th (two weeks later), my parameters are:
PH: 8.1/8.2 hard to tell
Ammonia: 0ppm
Magnesium: 1280ppm (I did does once)
Salinity: 1.023-1.024
Strontium: 0 but test kit seems inaccurate
Phosphate: 0ppm
Carbonate Hardness: 7dKH (using an API Freshwater kit - does it matter?)
Iodine: <0.03ppm
Iodate: <0.03ppm
Iodide: 0.01ppm
Potassium: 270ppm
Water Temperature: 75.2F
Calcium: 350ppm
Do I need any other test? Not sure how to read the Nitrate, but i attached a photo.
