Tank Parameters

[NaasReefer]

Hi all, my 120 gallon reef tank has been set up for about 14 months now and all is going well. I just wanted to share my tank parameters from today to see what people think and if there is anything I can do to improve them.

pH-8.0
Kh-7.6
Calcium-440
Ammonia-0
Nitrate-just above 0
Phosphate-0.04
SG-1.026
Magnesium-1500

All tests done with Red Sea Pro Test Kits.

I am carbon dosing with NOPOX 4ml per day. I think I will increase to 5ml per day to get the phosphate down a bit. Nitrate is where I want it for the Red Sea enhanced coloration program.

Any comments or advice would be much appreciated.

Should be fine

Numbers look good to me. Mg is a bit high but many run at that level or higher with little notice of bad effects.

Here's a great article on recommended parameters.

edit: I'd also suggest this thread to read through on the break down of nopox and finding a much cheaper alternative.
