Tank update !!

[artyboy]

Earlier in the week I had some concerns about my alkalinity and calcium lvls. I was thinking my levels were kind of high but overall the tank is doing fine and everything thing seems to be normal.

My alkalinity was running @ 11.1 and calcium @ 539.

After 3 or 4 days of water testing my calcium came down @ 508 with the alkalinity staying the same @ 11.1 .

Everything thing in my tank is flourishing and seems to be stable here is a break down.

Ph - 8.2
Phos - 0.02
Alk - 11.1
Cal - 508
Mag - 1350

I will post photos later in the day. Thank you all for listening and all the great advice.

It’s not the level of anything (to a degree) but the stability that’s packs a punch. I’ve run systems at 8dkh and 12dkh, can’t tell the difference.
Those numbers are fine, each system has a different level it seems to like to run at.
Maybe phosphate a bit on the low side at 0.02ppm even if new, .1ppm in a mixed tank is a better target IMM, we want to be ever so sure it’s not zero, zero being a real bad number, will starve everything.
