Today we are going to share which water parameters you need to test for in a fish-only or reef aquarium, explain how these parameters effect fish and coral as well as provide tips on how to choose the right test kits for your tank.

Some hobbyists claim they can tell how good or bad their water quality is just by looking at the tank. The reality is when the water quality is so poor that you can tell just by looking at it, you've already subjected your fish and coral to lousy living conditions far longer than you should have and fixing the problem will now require greater effort.

Keeping your aquarium water parameters stable and at ideal levels is crucial to the health and well-being of the animals in your care. That’s why it’s essential to test your water regularly and log the results. Actively monitoring your water quality helps you identify trends or notice changes before they become problematic, making it easier to resolve any issues that may be develop.

Are calcium and magnesium important in a soft coral reef tank since they don’t build skeletons

Hi I’m in the process of monitoring the conditions of my new fowlr 125 gallons tank before adding fish. I have a few issues: Temperatures ranges are from 82-84.3 F (my tank is built in the wall with the back located at my enclosed car garage) I live in PR year round weather is 75-85F. Secondly my hydrometer is giving fluctuations in salinity (I bought two different brands one Instanocean and the other fluval, I’m waiting for a refractometer) . Third issue after a week of tank settlement the ammonia is showing between 0-0.25ppm and is a brand new tank, should be 0ppm. Any recommendations regarding the temperatures, hydrometer and ammonia would be greatly appreciated
