calcium and phosphorous levels???

[addicted2]

what should calcium and phosphorous level be for tank with ricordia, pulsing xenia, and zoos? I have a few fish and lots of inverts too.

Calcium should be 400 - 480, phosphorous 0.
Don't forget to check alk 8 - 12 dkh. Very important as alk and ca work together.
There's a great article on this over at www.wetwebmedia.com that explains alk and ca.
Good luck!
