Frag Tank ready?
I have had a frag tank set up for about 3 months now with only sand and 2 corals in it... I just got a ton of frags and before putting the frag tank im holding it in my main to test the parameters... this is what i came up with
pH: 8.2-8.3 Alk:~2.5 Nitrate: 0-2.5 Nitrite: 0 Phosphate: 0-.1 Ammonia: (still testing... about 10 mins until result) is it fine if ammonias end up as 0... and also why are nitrates not at a definite 0 if i've only have 2 corals in there for holding? |

looks pretty good, those nitrates are very, very low.
Mine hovers at 10-20 daily and I'm growing zoas, hammer, and an open brain (well, they're thriving at least)

what are you bumping for? the nitrate question? what else do you have in the tank, and what kind of filtration do you run on it?
