## ???? Parameter Ranges for Reef Tanks:

- **Ammonia**: 0 ppm
- **Nitrites**: 0 ppm
- **Nitrates**: 1 to 20 ppm (I prefer 5-10 ppm)
- **pH**: 7.8 to 8.4
- **Phosphates**: 0.01 to 0.20 ppm (dependent on Nitrates; try to maintain a 1P:100N ratio)
- **Calcium**: 380 to 500 ppm
- **Magnesium**: 1350 to 1700 ppm
- **Alkalinity**: 8 to 12 dKH
