Test the source water not many places around Fl. that I'd use the water from.. I know fl pretty well just not sure where Weston is ?
The Dkh could be like it is at the expense of the Calcium and Magnesium where are those levels running at ?
I'd myself would try to get the NO3 lower then 20. But like already mentioned 20 is not life or death But its about 20 higher then I'd like to have in my tanks. | Weston is just west of Ft. Lauderdale. And the source water is good it's <5. Calcium stays around 420 and i don't know what the magnesiium is cause i only tested it once w/ a friend's test. _________ 75gal hex, 2-40w T12 48", odyssea 48" 4x65w PC's w/ lunars, 50lbs LR, 80lbs LS, gold banded maroon clown, dog faced puffer, juvenile blue angel, 2 dominoes, 1-4 stripe damsel, yellow watchman gobie, lawnmower blenny, mano, purple chromis, striped grouper, mexican turbo, astrea and red foot snails, striped, red and blue legged hermit crabs, coral banded shrimp, white and purple bubble coral(very little), red and green mushrooms, orange gorgonian, candycane  Tanks, No Thanks.
