Reefing newb
Two weeks ago I noticed my corals not looking so good so I started testing and I took my water to my LFS and discovered my test kits were bad. My Alkalinity was extremly low about 2.0meq/l and my calcium was about 340. I was dosing BIonic about 3 times a week 15ml. Since I discovered the bad test I began dosing Reef Builder every few days plus continuing the BIonic. I finally got my Alkalinity to about 3.4 Calcium 430 but now I have Nitrates at about 15-20 which I have never had it higher than 0. I just did a 20% water change on Friday. My corals are still not opening up. Any ideas???
Ammonia 0
KH 3.4
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 15-20
Ph 8.6 Max on my test kit could be higher
Calcium 430
Salinity 1.024
Magnessium 1500 Max on my test kit could be higher
Now I am re-thinking everything and getting frustrated:frustrat:. Is there anything I am forgetting or overlooking.
