What levels do you shoot for?

[Csanchez0799]

What Alk, Cal, and Mag levels do you shoot for? Currently I'm targeting 9 dkh, 450 calcium, and 1350 mag but thinking about shifting my levels to the higher end (10 dkh and 500 cal) to see if I get better growth. What do you guys think?

Personally I like lower numbers more safe. Alk 7.5-8, calc 430 and mag around 1250

Alk 7.5-8
Ca 430-470
Mag 1350-1400

I shoot for a range with alk -- anything between of 6.8 - 7.8. I have some alveopora that tends to get a little unhappy above 8.5. And pretty much everything in my tank is happy as can be between 6.5-8.5. So, I don't really care about small, slow fluctuations as long as it's between 6.8 - 7.8. If it gets out of that comfort range, I'll make small, slow adjustments to bring back in.

Ca - 420 - 520. If it gets out of that range, small adjustments to bring it back in.

Mg - 1250 - 1380. Same here.
