The results are in... how am I looking?

[_pabloperetti]

Took me about 3-4 weeks to cycle my tank using tims one and only. I have a 26 gallon frag tank. I’m not a beginner but I recently got back into the hobby after a year break. On my first week 6/2/19 I had just put a small clean up crew nothing crazy. There were no fish or corals present. A week later on 6/9/19 I have added 1 lawnmower blenny, about 7 zoa frags, 1 acan, 1 Yuma, 1 ricordea, and 1 acan frag. I tested my water with salifert test kits and just for reassurance, is there anything I should be concerned about with these results? Thanks! (Results are after 10% water change)

Maybe up your calcium but otherwise it looks good

Looks good to me; some might say your magnesium and nitrate are a little high but your observed values probably include some degree of testing error anyway. As you continue testing over coming weeks and add a few more fish you'll be better able to determine your "stable" measurements for nitrate and phosphate.

Here's an very helpful article: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/o...-reef-aquarium-by-randy-holmes-farley.173563/ and you'll see you are in pretty good shape.

Good luck

I think if u keep those numbers stable your gold. Everything looks balanced. Alk could go to 8 or 9 but I would keep an eye on its consumption and adjust if needed. If you can stay with those numbers you will be good

435 calcium is just fine.

That’s the goal
