Hello,

I am using Kent reef salt, and tested last night, the following results;

ALK: 8.6
MAG:1440
CALCIUM: 500+
NITRATE: 10PPM
PHOS: 0.09
SG: 1.025
TEMP: 25.7 - 26 DEGREES

are the above ranges acceptable. I'm going to change my salt to Redsea Blue bucket to keep the parameters in line where I need them.

I have added some GFO to lower phosphates.

Any advice welcome.

Phosphate seems fine. Only thing that stands out is Calcium is a little too high. Aim for around 420. Everything else looks good.
