Temp.= 79.5
PH = 8.0
Ammonia= 0.0
Nitrite= 0.0
Nitrate= 0.0
Salinity= 1.025
dkh= 8 dKH

there is a slight change in KH it was 11 last week and today its 8
i have nothing in the tank except live rock live send 1 red-leg hermit and chaeto in the 300ac.

pH a bit low isn't it?

The pH is fine as long as it's constant. Some easy to keep corals would be mushrooms/zoos.

PH will be OK if you can keep it stable. Just remember that a reef tank that small that there is no room for error. What did you measure your salinity with?

With Sybon Refractometer

Ok then it is probably right then. I was going to say that if it was with a hydrometer then it might be higher than that. Good luck on your tank.

no coral and the dkh went down 3 points in a week? If i remember correctly, isnt dkh exponential? Thats a pretty big swing to get with nothing using it up (unless the corraline algae on the LR used it, which I guess is entirely possible in a tank that teensy)

Other than that, looks like your good to go

definetly would start with hardy stuff like 'shrooms and see how they work out.
