How's my number? Am i ready for easy sps?

[Tuan’s Reef]

started in Oct 2018. numbers are stable since then. Only been keeping a log since Jan to see my progress. Nem, hammers, Acan, zoas, fish, all doing well in my tank. Think i can try an sps? Or will it melt in a days? I bought a chalice from WWC early on in September 2018 and of course it melted. I think i tested my calcium once but didn't jot it down but i believe it was in perfect range as the mag.

The parameters look decent...but what do you have for lighting? It is just as important IMHO

2 AI Prime hd’s over a Nuvo 20g. Loving the lights so far. Might upgrade to radions later down the road

Buy a small cheap common Acropora frag and put it in, see what happens. A sacrificial piece.

Your parameters look good, the lights should be sufficient, good luck!

SPS coals like pretty bright light and most of it should be in the blue spectrum. They like quite a bit of flow. They like nitrates and phosphates low. And they like stability especially in alkalinity.

Easier SPS are birds nests, stylaphora, and some hardy montipora. Some of the Acropora have been cultivated for years and are reasonably hardy.

I'm running one AI prime down the centre of my 2ft cube ( SPS are in the middle in the highest par areas ) Montipora Hirasuta, encrusting rainbow monti, blue Stylo and a red planet Acro all doing well and growing but these are not diffcult to raise ) so your two AI prime HDs on a shallower tank would be ok but i'm only basing this off my experience
