Just To Share,

Some reefer keep sps at a level of 1026,

I keeping mine at 1024.

Natural Sea water of Cal is frm 400-425 ppm.

Calcium reactor is not a must but it is better to have

one esp if u are running a full pledge sps tank.

I keeping my sps at 27 degree~

You can use Led light to keep Sps and Good and random flow

is impt for the growth and health of sps.

Cheers

Just to add, not all sps have the same requirements. So before u buy the diff species pls do your homework. U can use this website for ur researches on sps as weel as other types of croals or fishes' info http://www.thesea.org/

Would be better you list your equipments and water parameters to us before u start keeping sps, we'll be able to gauge whether ur tank is ready to or able to sustain sps.

thanks bro

Just to add on "Cal,KH and Mg.

This three elements are the top most to maintain

Sps growth and health.follow by dosing of

Strontium~~

Even you have the best equipment for Sps keeping.

self discipline is still needed to care for them.

It will be best if you can start off with monti cap

or some brown out Sps. If you succeed.

Then You are ready!!

Also try to maintain PO4 and NO3 to undectable level. Use high quality test kits. one of the common problem is the use of inferior test kits resulting in wrong reading and thus wrong action taken....
