Mixed Reef levels???

[Mrsadat]

Hello fellow reefers, I have a question. I would like to know what’s good numbers to set a Mixed reef tank at. Not that I’m chasing numbers just would like to know what everyone is running. I’m at
ALK- 11
Cal- 430
Mag- 1360
Nitrate- 25
Phosphate.13

Phosphate 0.1 ppm or below, but not 0
Nitrates - anything detectable until you get to around 25 ppm
Calcium - 420-440
Magnesium around 1400
Alkalinity- 7.5-9 dkh

Oh man, you are going to get 10 different answers from 8 people on that type of question haha.

It is really dealers choice.

Elevated alkalinity is one option, going more natural sea levels is another.

Do you have a preference?

Right now my Alk is elevated and wasn’t sure if that’s the best way.
