Budget reef

20 TDS is high. Id also look online for reef CUC packages they'll be MUCH cheaper than 500$. Also the prices other than CUC sound right for a 125. Happy Reefing!
 
Those numbers seem out of sorts.
Phosphate should be .02-.2
Alk is really high for a new system though technically not out if bounds
Salinity is too low should be 35.5ish
I’m pretty sure you aren’t measuring oxido nitrate so what is no4 supposed to be.
Nh3 is technically too high but you probably have kit related error. It’s common with that kit.

I think you might benefit for writing up exactly what you are currently doing and how you are testing and some of the more experienced people here can help you figure out the best way to tweek your system to more healthy numbers.
