Maintaining Levels......

[fernalfer]

Ok i've been testing everyday and dosing mag and alk to get them up. Now the level i'm at posted below everything seems most happy.

Calcium - 500
Magnesium - 1440
Alkalinity - 9 DkH
Ph - 8.2

#1. Are these good levels?

#2. If so, what is the best way to maintain these levels?

- Test often and dose each separately when needed
- Can i run Kalkwasser in ATO to maintain my Alk and Calc levels and if so how much?

Currently in tank for Corals are:
- Green Star Polyp
- Hammer Coral
- 2 Zoa (1 frag, 1 colony)
- 1 Paly

Obviously these don't consume as much as SPS corals but end all want to figure the best and easiest way to maintain my parameters above?

The levels are fine.....calcium is a little higher than it needs to be but other than that they are good. The best way to maintain is to continue dosing enough to keep the levels where they are at. The other option is to do frequent water changes, assuming the new water is close in value to what you are trying to hold at.
