I am not keeping any corals at this time (though I will in the future), but I'm trying to learn about water parameters besides the usual ammonia-nitrite-nitrate-ph-sg.
I picked up API test kits today for Kh and phosphates.
My tap water (well) tested between 0 and .25ppm on phospates (truthfully closer to 0). I haven't tested my tank water yet. This is a pleasant surprise.
KH tested at 12 dKH or 214ppm (this was on my tank water). I'm a little in the dark on what this signifies.
My PH has been stable but a little low (7.8-7.9) ever since the tank was started.
