water test

[renne39]

I tested my water wit hthe marine lab kit and got these readings
ammonia 0
ph 8.4
nitrite o
alkaility 2.9-3.6
sp gr 1.o23

are these ok
I have 4 clowns and star plopys and featherdusters in the tank

1. how large is your tank?
2. 4 clowns may have territorial disputes, especially in a small tank. keep an eye out for them.
3. all your posted parameters are fine for the livestock you've mentioned.

it is a 125 gallon tank

I agree the parameters are fine but the 4 clowns in that tank will become problems later on.

I would also suggest raising the sg up to around 1.026 if your planning other corals

how do I rasie it

Just add saltwater over the next few days instead of RO water for top offs until it gets there.
