I went back to my LFS to get my water tested again today. I was a bit nervous and felt like I was waiting for exam results! LOL!

Here are the results:
pH: 8.1
KH: 8 drops
NH4: 0,0 mg/l
NO2: <0,1
NO3: 10 mg/l
PO4: 0,10 mg/l
Ca: 400 mg/l
Mg: 1300 mg/l
Total score 97%!!!! So, I only have to tweak my pH and I'll have 100%! So I got 2 more corals and a lovely mandarin :-)

Here's how my tank looks like now:



And here's my mandarin & one of my clowns :-)



To my surprise, these are appearing on one of my live rocks:

Week 4 & 5 (w/c 22/01 and 29/10)

I got some mushroom & leather corals from my LFS (local fish store). At this point my tank is pretty bare, some I'm desperate to add something!
I also got my water tested at my LFS. Here are the results:
pH: 7,8
KH: 8 drops
NH4: 0,0 mg/l
NO2: <0,1 mg/l
NO3: 40 mg/l
PO4: 0,10 mg/l
Ca: 400 mg/l
Mg: 1300 mg/l

So I got some pH buffer & a powerhead to increase the water flow. Test again next week.
