Alc: 13dkh (Ocean water is closer to 8- Maybe a little high?)
Calcium:440ppm
Phosphate: 0.15
Nitrate: 0ppm (This one, + Nitrite means you need to feed more. Corals are starving)
Nitrite:0ppm
ph: 7.8 (Acceptable, but raising pH is helpful for stoney corals, fine for a fish tank.)
Salinity: 1.023 (Maybe a tad low)

Last post from Randy is also helpful, but a short thread/read can get you started.

no it was a accident
Do a little research. The time you are wasting here could be put to use utilizing the thread search or even a Google search.

Pick parameters and stick to them . Adjust based on further research and experience. Everyone has different success.

No nutrients
High nutrients

7 alk, 9 alk

That's the best advice you'll get . Besides someone walking you through exactly what they did for their tank as if it's gospel. Which may not even work for you.

What if Jesus logs in to spread the reef Gospel, should the OP not listen to The Lord? Otherwise, a solid post @Nate Chalk :cool:
