Water conditions

[Edwardw771]

I have never really been detailed about the measurements on some of these.
My way of doing it is if my corals dont look right i change some water.

But I picked up a tank for a friend. I wanted to throw it out to you guys. How do these look? How do you keep your tank?

PH 8.0
AMMONIA 0
NITRITE(NO2) 0
NITRATE(no3) 4.0
SILINITY 1.025
CALCIUM 500+
ALKALINITY 240
PHOSPHATE(PO4) .5

Well they say phosphates should be zero.

And the ph looks a bit low, I think it's supposed to be 8.3ish

The nitrates are plenty low

Don't know about calcium.

Why not just test your water if your fish/corals are happy and compare the 2?

This is a freinds tank. She actually took the water to Trop to test it. I was just wondering what you guys keep our levels you know what I'm saying.
