Ammonia/nitrite :0
Nitrate : about 10 ppm
Ph: mid range test read 7.6, high range read 7.4 --i'll call it 7.5???
unfortunately i just ran out of the gh and kh testers, so i can't give you that information, however i can assure you that i have hard water.
sg: 1.09
I got a shoal of 4 monos about two weeks ago who were in mint condion. Now i have noticed that one in particular has a red irritation (white outline) on it's side, two others have begun to develop it. The shoal seems to be eating well and enjoys scavenging for what my catfish have left behind. I have no idea what is irritating my monos!!!
My guess is that the ph is a little low, or that the salinity needs to be increased. Ideas would be of much help.
at the moment i am using filter sand substrate, and am thinking that i should switch to crushed coral, so that i don't have to mess with the powder stuff. What do you think about crushed coral?
