    Congrats on the new add. You want to watch your Ca, Mg and alk levels closely. Do not let the Ca fall below 380ppm, the Mg below 1100ppm and the alk below 7dKH or you may have major problems with the coral. You will want to keep your nitrate below 5ppm and phosphate below .03ppm to give it the best conditions to grow.
