Test results, are these okay?


Test results, are these okay?

i have a reef tank with a few soft corals, acros, clam, and other hard corals.

temp- 26
salinity - 1.022 but slowly taking it up to 1.025
ph - 7.9. low and would like it higher but difference between hagen and salifert.
ammonia - 0
nitrite - 0.025
nirtate - 2.5 high, but done a small water change to bring it down and will do another tomorrow.
kh - 7, again difference between hagen and salifert as hagen was 9. but will slowly increase to 12.
calcium - 450 salifert, and more hagen, 540!
magnesium - 1350.
phospate - 0
iron - 0

how does this all sound?

Sounds like you know where the problems are and are going to fix them. NO2 and NO3 are to high. Salinity is a bit low, Alk is fine allthough you may want to raise it a bit. By raising the Alk it shouls also raise your PH which you want at about 8.3. Everything else seems fine.
