    I just acquired a few LPS's:bubble, torch and candy cane, I've had a green open Brain for over a year now. and one SPS. They are in my 90 gal. Lighting: Belize 250 w MH's and T5's, LED's. Open top tank. Many mushrooms and a few leathers. My question is what supplements do I need to start dealing with now because of the corals: Calcium, mag, and alkaline? What parameters? I need keeping LPS's and one SPS 101 crash course!!!!!!

    Thanks.

    You are probably OK with water changes keeping your parameters in line. I would suggest testing all three and supplementing as needed. Suggest ranges are Ca 380 to 450ppm, Alk 7 to 12 dKH and Mg 1250 to 1350ppm.
