Even if I am not quite a newby in SW, soon I upgraded my system to a much better/larger one and I am planning to add various corals into it. Last 2 years I kept LPS and zoas in badly maintained, poor parameters and technique tank - they didnt grow, but also didnt died either.
This time I am trying to offer best I can to my corals - proper water, proper flow and light. After cycle was done, all fishes added into system (between august and end of december) now is CORAL time.
So I bought Red Sea Reef Foundation Program and NOPOX and related test kits trying to bring the water in perfect parameters before buying corals, but then confusion starts. I plan zoas+LPS+SPS but have no idea which of the parameters I have to target according to RS. I dont plan to enter frags business, so no need for fast grow, but still want corals to be nice colored and hopefully to not stay as big as I buy them for next 5 years.
Once parameters are fixed, what are the allowable swings in them? I dont think a tank can be perfectly stable in time, some small changes occur, but within what limits is still safe (referring to SPS as probably are the most sensitive)
Thanks for help
