Element	Recommended result	Result	Difference
Salinity Salinity	33 - 38 ppt	35 ppt	- 0.5 ppt
Recommended result: 35.5 ppt Result: 35 ppt Salinity Salinity is one of the most important parameters. Avoid sudden salinity changes as they're harmful to the aquatic life. Make sure, that you use freshly calibrated refractometer dedicated for seawater (not for the food industry!). Keep in mind, that the higher salinity is, the higher are the levels of micro & macro elements in the water. When salinity drops, all levels of the water elements will drop too.
KH KH	6.5 - 8.5 dKH	9.0 dKH	+ 1.5 dKH
Recommended result: 7.5 dKH Result: 9.0 dKH Recommendations Warning! Level of KH is too high, if you want to lower it, do a water change. KH The correct KH level in a saltwater aquarium allows corals to build skeletons and provides healthy growth. The right amount of carbonate ions allows keeping pH at a stable level. Stability is extremely important for this parameter, so if your corals start whitening from the bottom, you should consider controlling your KH levels more frequently.
