How Does This Look?

[henryhahn]

So, this is the regimen I've come to be able to maintain.
10% water changes on Sundays.
Parameters stable.
PH has come up to 8.0 now that I added a air pump (Was once stable at 8.4, but I have added coral and livestock since then, and it dropped way down to 7.8. Not sure if the pump is ).
Are my Parameters good?
Am I dosing anything needlessly?

Corals:
1 Fire and Ice Zoa Colony
1 Rasta Zoa Frag
1 Torch
1 Plate
1 Duncan
1 Cyphastrea Frag
1 Xenia Frag

I was worried that was low. Any ideas on how to get that a smidgen higher?

8 would be fine for pH if it becomes stable. The KH is on the high side, but that should help the pH to remain stable.

It's been 8 for 2 weeks now

IMO, a stable PH of 8 is absolutely fine. I don't think my reef has ever been as high as 8.1.

Cool Beans. Outside of dosing kalkwasser, I wasn't sure where I was headed with this.
