5 Month old mixed reef

[viorio]

From the look and feel, my tank seems to be doing well for 5 months. I’ve been through the ugly phase, gotten rid of cyano and killed off a few aptasia. Over the past few weeks coralline algae has began to grow. My corals and fish seem healthy and thriving. My trace elements are very high. I am not dosing and running tropic Marin reef pro at 35ppm. Attached are my latest Hanna test results and pictures of the tank. My ph and alk don’t seem right. Any tips or suggestions? Thanks!!

You have numbers that look off, but they are not Alk or Ph. Your Calcium and Magnesium are super high if you are not dosing anything. Your Alk and Ph could be low because you are not dosing anything to get them higher. That is simple fix. But, either your Caclum and Mg testers are off or there is something else going on with those numbers. No way that salt is adding that ratio of either of those to your tank. Take a water sample to your LFS and have them test it or do an ICP test to get the real numbers.

Also....Alk, Ca, Mg are not trace elements, they are macro elements. FYI.

Don't have any suggestions, but it's a very nice looking tank!
