Water levels

[idjit45]

I apologize for probably asking a question that has been asked several hundred times before but, can someone tell me what the levels should be on what I am testing for. I have a Hagen Master Test Kit which test everything. But, I have no idea if after I test it what is a good or bad level for Nitrate, Nitrite, pH, Calcium etc etc etc.

Thanks very much for that. Would you know what the recommended range would be for Phosphate, Nitrate, Nitrite, Ammonia, Carbonate and Iron would be please.

ammonia is 0ppm nitrites is 0ppm nitrates as close to 0 as you can get them phosphates 0ppm dkh 9 calcium 460ppm and mag i think is around 1450

There's another article about that. The acceptable ranges are sKy 9-11, ca 420-480 and mag 1250-1450.

Also, most test kits will tell you what the ideal range is.
