Ati lab results

[JoeJohn]

Just got my Ati test results in.
my tank is a Red sea max-e 170 which i believe is around 45 gallons with a 20 gallon sump.
currently the only thing I dose is ati essentials pro 8ml of each a day manually.
Any suggestions on how to correct my issues?

Thank you in advance!

The high alk could be your salt mix
The low nitrate could be because you are not feeding enough or have algae consuming it
I would not worry about the rest.

Thank you! I use Red Sea blue bucket salt mix.

Your dosing to much ATI Essentials Pro. Blue bucket should only have a DKH of 8. I would reduce the amount your dosing and let it fall down to 8dk then just dose enough to keep it at 8 steady. You should be testing your alk every other night just after your lights go out.

Potassium looks low.

Alk is high.

Nitrate looks low. I'd feed more or dose nitrate to prevent dinos and corals not getting enough N.
