What should my readings be for.....

[jdnumis]

PH, Nitrates, Calcium, Phosphates, and Alkalinity be? I am about to test my setup for the first time tonight since May 3rd.

What are some good numbers? I will post them up tonight

Thank you in advance

What type of test kits are you using (more curious, it won't change your numbers...)

Most test kits provide the numbers to aim for right in their instructions.

I am using ReefMaster Test kit

Hope that is a decent brand.
