Water Paremeter

[markboy]

Dear bros,

Here is my water paremeter. Pls advice is there any thing wrong here any thing i need to do?

Sal : 1.022

Cal : 460

PO4 : 0.3

Meg : 1 320

PH : 8.3

Nit : 0

Ammonia : 0

KH : 7.7.

Water Temp. 26.4

All readings were taken yesterday night. I have a sump tank. Skimmer using octopus needlw wheel .

i do not know what u mean by whats wrong with ur water paremeter.. but here is the ideal water paremeter

pH : 8.0-8.5

kH : 9-11dKH

NH3 : 0ppm

NO2 : 0ppm

NO3 : <5ppm (Not more then 20ppm)

PO4 : <0.025ppm

Ca : 400-450ppm

Mg : 1,200-1,350ppm

Temperature : 26-28 deg celcius

Seems quite alright to me actually... just want to highlight the following:

1) pH fluctuates within the day (mostly affected by photosynthesis/lighting)... the challenge is to keep the fluctuation gap as small as possible. A difference of 0.4 within a day (example: 7.9 to 8.3) is acceptable.

2) Salinity can raise to 1.023. As the acceptable range is 1.021 to 1.025... maintaining it at the 1.023 will offer your tank more room for unexpected fluctuations... mostly due to evaporation or human error.

3) Try to bring your P04 to undetectable level... possible with the help of an efficient protein skimmer, careful feeding, use of PO4 removal media such as Aquapharm SORB4 & RowaPhos.

hi bro's actually the natural sea water temperature is 25.5C i put my chiller to 25 degrees.this is just my tip haha cheers

what do u mean by the natural seawater is 25.5degrees?...u mean when rain or shine the temp will still be the same?..

I think he meant by the average sea temp. Shallow areas will be affected much by the hot sun, but for deep sea, the temp is not much affected.

Markboy, your water parameter seems very much ok. Your Nit you mean NO3 and not NO2 right? Check out your NO3 if what you tested is NO2. Best is to have both 0. PO4 should be as close to 0 as possible. Introduce some seaweeds to your sump/refugium. It helps. Try to increase your KH a bit, it is ok now, but very close to the minimum line.

Lower temp good for FOWLR but not corals.They need warmer waters.

Dear brothers,

Thank you so much will keep track on the followings.

Bro Mansiz thank you for your advice too.

Cheers.
