water quality
PH=8.3
Po4=0.01-0.05
No2=0.1-0.2
No3=5.0
NH=0
KH=6-7.5
MG=1000-1100
Ca=400
potasium=325

the system gets 9 hours of PC light 4x96 watt and 6 hours of MH light and PC 3x250 watt
skimming wet getting about 6 cups aday
running the full Zeo system
Using H2O salt
No3- a little elevated
KH should not go below 7 DKH and not above 8
MG should be 1350- 1600
CA should be 420 -480
Potassium should be 380-400

STOP H2o salt, use Instant Ocean or Reefer Best if you think it is worth the extra coin (I don't think it is)

TDS on top off water and new water should be ZERO to max 5 TDS
