Hello I need help stabilizing my parameters

jordimex · Jul 21, 2017

My tank is a Red Sea reafer 250
have about 70 lbs of live rock in it
so i assume i have about 55 gal sump and display
i bought the reef foundation liquids AB and C and i would like to know what would be a good starting point of dosing in order to have as much stability as possible for a 1 and a half month old tank
thank you

Hi Jordimex

Depending on what salt your using you may not need to dose much with a new tank. The Red Sea Coral Pro is good as it contains many of the elements needed so water changes should keep you in check for a while depending on Coral load etc.

This might help start you off as well:

Might also be worth getting the ABC+ with your size tank as thats very good and then just use the individual ones to balance it when needed.

Your salinity seems to be all over the place, try to get it under 1.025 and your parameters will be close to what red sea recommends. I would invest in a refractometer for measuring salinity when doing water changes. This is assuming you are using red sea coral pro salt.
