Reef levels...what are they?
What is the recommended levels to keep a mix reef, primarily Softies and LPS?
Calcium: 400 -500 Iodine: ? Strontium: ? Magnesium: ? Am I missing anything else? I'm trying to choose a good salt mix that would be high at these points. |

Iodine:I don't really think that so important.90% of all salt mixes will meet that requirement. Strontium:Again not a biggie Magnesium:I like a salt mix that is around 1250-1350ppm. But,I supplement by dosing if they're low anyways. Strontium no. But,I have dosed Iodine by direction only.
