Well I have mainly Acro's and keep the water parameters as such for them calcium 450,alk 10dkh will Chalice thrive in such waters I know that the acro's like the light and place high in the tank and want some more coral for the lower portions of the tank where light isn't that great and flow med to low I have read that chalice like those settings and want to start collecting more of them just wonder if they will thrive what do you keep your water at for chalice and other parameters?

I have a pretty mixed reef. I have it all. Leathers zoos Lps torches sps acans. I keep my alk in the high 9s calc @410 mag @ 1320. I dry skim so the water is dirty enough for lps and softies but clean enough for sps. It will take a little bit but you will find a sweet spot. Keep chalices in low light low flow
