Are these levels high or low.

They are both kind of low. You can feed more.
 
Yes.
Where is your Alk at, and is it level or a roller coaster?
 
i use the hanna low range, not the ULR. is 8 equivalent to 0.08? if so thats like ideal. i aim for between 0.05 and 0.1. so anything in there is great to me.
No, that calculation is not correct.
Shoot for around 30ppb. Phosphorus.
26ppb equals your 0.08ppm phosphate.
33ppb I think is around .1ppm phosphate.
Hanna posts the conversion chart if you need further info.
