What are all Saltwater aquarium parameters?

[Shark123]

I'm really confused when it comes to parameters like how to test them what to do when they drop etc. do you know any good guides for parameters? Thanks

Alk is water hardness - PH is a scale- acid , neutral or base measurements not the same but relavent

Hardness is not alkalinity...

Do a few months of research and you'll know everything you need to know.

do you have a tank to even test the parameters?? serious question sir

 

[Nighthawk]

What type of tank are you planning, FO, FOWLR or reef? Knowing this will help us help you.

Unless you keep corals then you don't need to worry about most of those parameters, using a good salt mix and doing your changes regularly should keep your levels in line.

I was hoping to set up a FOWLR, but with a few corals. Also, just asking for the future, (I'm not getting one now), what would you need for a black tip reef shark in a FOWLR with a bunch of corals.
