hey guys im a begginer at corals
today i purchased a "red sea" reef test kit and tested my water for the first time since i have added lots of corals last month and never did the testing before, the person at the LFS recommended me to do that asap.
so he told me that normal results should be
Kh = between 8 and 12
CA= between 400 and 500
MG= 1340
and my results were.
Kh 8.5
CA 425
MG= 1280
now im just wondering is 1280 MG dangerous ? is it too low and how do i bring it up to 1340 ? and is 1340 where iv got to be at all time ?
and am i fine with Kh and Ca at these levels ?
thanks for the answers
