hi,

my tank parameters are those pretty basic ones....

ph: 8.2-8.4

SG: 1.025

KH: 7-9...my biggest headache...still having difficulty bringing it higher

temperature: 26-27.5( no chiller. only fan and aircon at night)

calcium: 440

magnesium: 1380

nitrate: 5

nitrite/ammonia: not tested.

lighting: single DE 250 10000k BLV supplemented by actinics

filtration: started a refugium 2 months ago. just got myself a new skimmer....wasnt running a skimmer or refugium for almost 2 months when i sold off my macro and hasnt started my refugium. using plenuum as well.

that's all i can think of so far...very basic equipments i should say. no calcium reactor and those sophisticated gadgets...all calcium and other supplements are dosed manually everyday including top off water...yup, but really enjoying every bit of it....heheh

defintiely one of the top few reef tanks I have seen owned by local reefers...and done it without all those elaborate equipments....Great tank, Mellow!!!!

love to visit again and take a closer look at your tank again

[Mellow]

Try using se*ch*m pH buffer.

i'm already using a fair bit of reef builder to bring it up...but not much increase...will probably have to live with it....

Looks good... where did you have your tank and stand/cabinet/hood made?

Your KH levels are fine. I keep mine around 8 or 9 with daily dosing of Reef Builder. I too have difficulty raising it beyond those levels, especially with the hard corals I keep and coralline encrusted LR and glass. You could try scraping the coralline off the glass although I doubt it would make a big difference.
