Best thing to do to get great answers on here is to post all your params first. Thinking your params are good and knowing are two different things!

how about lighting? what corals do you want to keep?

Might be good to start with mushrooms and zoas and if they do good go from there.

Like stated about. List all the parameters you can test for. Also a side note listing the tank size along with how long it's been running etc will also help. 430 isn't bad for a reef. I run mine around 460 and everything seems fine.

Here are my parameters
tank up and running for 6 months although 3 months ago changed from crushed coral to sand
54 gallon tank
8.0-8.2 ph
0-5 nitrate
0 ammonia
0 nitrite
430 calcium
7% or 125 alkalinity
How do i increase my calcium levels? Use the liquid supplement?
