I used 3 different salifert kits with the same reading. I used api and red sea pro with a much lower reading that were the same. I now use elos.
 
I prefer Salifert, some people like different brands for different elements but for the major 3, they've always worked great for me.
 
After using 3 different salifert kits reading 480 while api, red sea pro and elos all read 340 I pitched the salifert. I don't know why salifert was giving me false readings, but I would rather not chance it again. As far as alk and mag I still use salifert.
 
I do recommend a Triton test for your water.
As already mentioned your CAL is a bit high and HANNA isn't a good tester for CAL.
Is your Nitrate really at 20 PPM or is it 0,02 PPM??
Your wrasse might have take the jump :(

yes, I think it's 20 ppm..It's hard to tell since it's one of those compare the color thing...Guess I need some better tests.Yes, I do think the triton would be a good idea.
I really do apprecitate all the help!
 
20 ppm is super high.
You better do a large WC for a few days.
