What are your target levels?

I recently added dosing pumps to my tank and have been measuring both alk and Ca every day. Got me thinking what should I be trying to maintain.

Here is what I was working towards:
Alk - 10 dKH
Ca - 440 ppm
Mg - 1400

That's kinda why I'm asking. Is 10 too high?

I start having issues above 10.5 but it depends on your N03 and your P04 also. If those are ultra low then you want to keep it lower. 8-9 is a good range in general.

I typically run 7.6-7.8
