I'd like some opinions.
My 40gallon tank is a month old today (since I added the first fish that is).
I have no ammonia, no nitrite, my nitrates haven't exceeded 10ppm.
phosphate .5ppm
calcium 350ppm
Alk: 3.0 meq/l
pH: 8.2 when I'm measuring early in the evening.
I'd love to get some shrooms and see what happens. I realize my phosphate should be 0ppm...I think I'm simply over feeding a bit, so I've been tryign to watch that better.
What do you think? Is it a bad idea to try any coral until I get my phosphate to 0ppm, and up the alk and calcium a smidge?
