Reef Tank Parameters for Good SPS Growth & Color

In this video I discuss accepted reef tank parameters for those looking to keep SPS! Here is where I "try" to keep my levels:

Alkalinity 8.0 dkH
Calcium 410 ppm
Magnesium 1350 ppm
Nitrate 5 ppm
Phosphate 0.03 - 0.07 ppm
Specific gravity 1.025
Temperature 79.4 - 79.8F

When I used to dose 2-part, this is the recipe I used to use with the exception of the magnesium and calcium driveway salts. I was hesitant about using those, so I purchased magnesium chloride and calcium chloride from BRS. But I did use baking soda and Epsom salts. I was never particular about using equal amounts of alk and calcium. I just adjusted each independent of one another.
