Watching this at noon here in California after a short workout. I've always kept Freshwater fish my whole life, and Saltwater Fish only. 2 months ago i started my first reef tank. Soaking in all the reef information I can get. Love this channel.
That's really cool. Starting up a new reef tank is always exciting.There is always something to learn in this hobby. I'm glad this channel has been helpful, let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for checking out the video.
Clean RO and PH by a long way. You can grow corals in an alkalinity of 6.5 or 12. But a PH of 7.8 or below and they will struggle. If you are overstocked or have a lot I'd people and pets in your house and can't ventilate the house sufficiently you'll struggle to keep ph up over the 24 hours. If that is hard to do. Dosing Kalk is definitely a thing to consider
I'd say keep Phosphates not high but detectable (aka feed the fishes a lot) use salts that are either clean or don't have bad impurities (e.g. i dont care if CaCL2 salts contain Barium or Strontium at elevated levels but i do in case there are too many metals in higher concentrations) and watch your corals. Do not fall in love with "trends". Better observe what works and know your pests (AEFW, Nudibranches,..) and what snacks them away 😉 Keep in mind Companies like to sell.
Maintain your ORP at or above 200, preferably 275, but minimum of 200. ORP is the ability of the chlorine in your salt to sanitize the water. As you pump it full of minerals and trace elements the water chemically then CANNOT breakdown the organics then your bacteria and microorganisms bloom then you have health issues and can't figure out why as all your CHEMICAL PARAMETERS are ON PAR.

Watching from California with my Tropicana OJ and it's amazing at making me a better reefer
Nice! That is some good OJ, What size aquarium do you have?

Thanks for sharing, I don't think we talk enough about ORP in the hobby. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@TheCoralReefTalk no problem...I never thought ORP mattered much till I started using OZONE, and WOW, what a difference.
