What are the ideal water parameters for SPS growth?

In using the Reef Anabolics Trace Elements Support System, we have found the ideal parameters to be nothing far from the obvious. Many of our customers run Ultra Low Nutrients Systems (ULNS) with great success; however, the majority of our customers desire vibrant rich colours within their SPS dominant systems. This is achieved by allowing detectable nutrients.

For best results, we recommend:

Calcium: 400 – 440ppm

Alkalinity: 6.5 – 8dkh

Magnesium: 1280 – 1460ppm

Potassium: 380 – 440ppm

Nitrate: 1 – 2ppm

Phosphate: 0.01-0.08ppm
