Tank is doing well. Inverts happy. Rose anemone has expanded to three times the size she was when I bought her, and the gold striped maroon clown is happy there.
Basic water tests fine. Nitrate has gone up to 20 once, but drops by itself to 5 and stays there. PH a question, depending on test kit used, but is 8.3 on mine and remains steady. I add a little Seachem Marine Buffer when doing water changes. Ammonia and nitrite have always been zero.
Occasional hatches of things, and lots of growth of plants and algae.
As I move toward a reef type tank, what water tests should I add to the regular tests, what levels should they be, and what should I do too correct any variances?
Thanks.
