A double check on water parameters

Here's my latest water parameters just taken:
Temp - 82 (usually had is set at 79 but halides warm up to 82 by the end of the day)
Phosphates - 0
nitrates - 0
nitrites - 0
ammonia - 0
Calcium 360
dKH - 6
PH - 8.4

I'm working on raising the calcium and going to use a buffer tomorrow morning to start bumping up the dKH.
I also have some cpu fans going to blow across under the halides but everything in the tank right now looks really healthy --- just getting some acropora in soon and like the reassurance from anyone else.

Current live stock
Fish - yellow tank, damsel

Coral
Frogspawn, Xenia, zoo's, toadstool, leather corals, shrooms, star polyps

Inverts
Clam (new to the tank), carpet anenome, cleaner shrimp, coral banded shrimp, pepperment, hermits, snails, feather dusters everywhere

Have a sump full of cheato and a small ball in main tank for tang.

Any thoughts improvements on chemistry for the water let me know, but trying to slowly bring up calcium and dkh.

 

Yah YAh YAh, 0 ,0 , 0 ,0
Like what should you be working on with those numbers.

I'm jealous.

The ones you are working on are correct.

You did not post the magnesium level ? Get that checked and then get the DKH to 10 12
Calcium 450
Magnesium 1400 all others look fine what you have is O.K but for better growth and to create water parameters many nuisance alga's do not like then I'd just kick them up a few notches.

 

Yep looks good. dKH 8-12 and Calcium around 420.

 

Lookin good!

What salt mix are you using?

I recently switched from Instant Ocean to Reef Crystals...Ca went from ~320 to ~380-400 more then enough for a non-sps tank.

 

be careul when u raise your dKH cause prolly will raise pH as well.

 

Also if u wanna dose, B-Ionic doses calcium as well as dKH.
