What are your levels?

wakrein · 09/13/2010, 08:24 PM

1) What type of tank do you have
2) What type of live stock do you have
3) What is your Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate Levels?

You need to have a more specific question in mind, or at least give the reader some clue as to what guidance you are looking for.

Ammonia and nitrite should be 0 regardless of livestock. Nitrates should ideally be 0 but most fish will tolerate anything less than 10ppm. Corals can be touchier for nitrate. PH should be 8.1-8.4. Temp needs to be 78-80 and constant. Those are the basic parameters. Phosphates, magnesium, alkalinity , calcium are also important to a reef tank.

How about answering your own questions, and maybe we can help? And a few more questions for you to answer to help us help you:
4) What type of filtration?
5) How old is your set-up?
6) How often do you feed?
7) pH? alk?

You already have one thread on your tank. Let's stick to that one.
