Ok here are my parameters, tested using Red Sea kits
PH 8.3
Alk 2.4 (mEq/l)
NO2 0.05
NO3 2.5
NH3 0.2
NH4 0.02
PO4 0.05
Ca 400
The parameters other than the PO4 (which is coming down) have all remained the same for two months, I am worried that the NO2, NO3, NH3, and NH4 might be to high but I can find no source, except maybe the NSW I use to do my 10-15% weekly changes. All my livestock is doing well, although I don’t believe that they are too demanding. I have a bicolour Blenny, Colt Coral (Growing Rapidly), Green Star polyps, pulsing xenia, green bubble (in tank for about a week but opened fully on day 1), a collection of local and exotic snails and local hermit crabs (yellow foot). I have tried not feeding the tank, but even that did not change the parameters.
Do I need to worry about my parameters?
