Specific Gravity / Salintity (g/g | ppt): 34 ppt
Alkalinity (meq/l | dKH): 3.3 meq/l
Calcium (ppm): 434
Ammonia (ppm): 0
Nitrite (ppm): 0

Maintenance Program : I do water topoff with RO/DI kalkwasser, 1 tsp kalk per gal. Evap. rate around 1/2 gallon per day. 4 gallon water change bimonthly(usually using well water), 1/4 cup carbon change once a month. Clean skimmer when needed. I test calcium, alk, pH once a week, everything else once a month. Pull xenia, anthelia, and macroalgae when needed.
Additional Information : This tank was torn down on 4-21-02 and transferred to a 55 gallon.
