wondering what you keep your levels of your tank at, like alk calc and mag and phosphates

I keep the phos and nitrate as near to zero as poss due to high fish load ,calc and mag at optimum levels as i use a reactor and kh at 8 thats just been increased from 7.2 due to coral growth and a bit more stable.I have tried a lot of additives for this and that and they seem to cause more issues than do any good so i only add iodine and regular 25L water changes. I use pellets ,rowa and a bit of carbon the centre sump section has 5'' sand with a small amount of MM ,live rock rubble and siporax/This seems to work for me as we know its all trial and error for different tanks.I dont add any snake oils lol.

Thanks for the comments and looking at the vid, I only realised after that i had the wrong lens on ( telephoto) should have used the prime lens .I m just trying to do one under blues/actinics but dont know what it will be like and if worth posting.The achilles feeds out of my hand its a lovely fish ,i have been contemplating putting a bandit in of a good size as the lfs are struggling to find a home for it ,i can get it at a good price as they want the forest fire frags/colonies on the sandbed at the front of the tank.

Has that Christmas Wrasse behaved itself in your reef tank?
marc
I have had the christmas wrasse approx 1 month and its been great ,the tank is very peaceful and the wrasse are out all day in and out of the corals.If you feed a mixed food twice a day they are well settled.I have the following wrasse
twistii
yellow tail tamron
lapisul ( its a jewelled wrasse name spelt wrong)
christmas
I want to add a couple more i like the feminus but they dont last long in any tank.
