i would suggest to get your PH up to at least 8.4 you can do that by geting a ph buffer and watch this video( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-JVSJMl31M ) it will help you figure out what corals you can have and cant have if they have to much light it can hert them. good luck

If you want corals you'll need to test for magnesium. I would bring the SG up to 1.025 slowly before you add corals.

thank you for link

when you say bring it up slowly to 1.025 say.001 every 2 week or need space it out more ?

 

[Tahoe61]

You can bring it up through evaportation or top off with small amounts of SW. Slowly as in not over the course of 24/hrs but rather days.
