After working to keep my nitrates down they seem to be steady at 40ppm. After a 50% water change they will gradually creep up during the week. Red Sea Max 130D with 40lbs of live rock, live sand and no skimmer currently running. I do have a CPR running with NP Active pearls. I need to test for Mag and will do so this weekend after I purchase a kit. In the meantime..... are these numbers acceptable?
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 40
pH 8.2
Salinity 1.023 (refractometer)
Phosphate .1 (Hanna checker)
Alkalinity 258
Calcium 480
The remaining were done with an API reef kit if that helps. Many thanks.....
