I have a 75 gal tank with about 100lbs rock in main and 40lbs in sump. I'm confused on my tank parameters. Yank has been up and going for 2 weeks, I've added a bottle of turbo start 900 per directions as well as nitrocycle from algae barn. I've done one 15 gal and one 40 gal water change during this time using rodi water. However my water chemistry has not changed, even after water change.
DKH 8.6
CALCIUM 520
SALINITY 35PPM
PHOS 0.27
AMMONIA 2.50PPM
NITRITE 0.2PPM
NITRATE 75PPM
TEMP 78
The numbers never changed even after water changes which isn't making since. I am using hanna checkers and then used another brand new set of hanna checkers as backup and got same readings and have been testing daily.
Why is this happening?
