I just got a CA test kit and my level came out to 390 PPM is this a good level to maintain?? I have 1 greenspawn a rock of button polyps and some feather dusters.

Thanks,
Whiskey

its not bad, but not great either.. 400-450 is ideal for a reeftank, but for the sessile inverts you have, they are not as calcium needy as sps and lps species.

Most generally keep it between 400 and 450 so you're in pretty good shape :)

With that light a "load" your okay. With SPS and Clams I would bring it up at least 50 ppm. Mine usually stays at 480-500 ppm in my SPS/Clam tank.
