Extremely High DKH

Clearly the OPs test results are wrong based on the fact he says his fish and corals are ok.
Not disagreeing, but doing so in front of more experienced eyes might find a method issue. API liquid test kits aren’t great, but beyond a false trace ammonia reading they aren’t normally awful either.
 
I ordered the Red Sea test kit that comes with all the tests I already have minus the calcium and phosphate. I will be receiving the kit Thursday next week maybe soone. I will post the new results with everyone once I have the kit. Excited to get this kit. I've been waiting to buy better things till I started my 120 with a 40 gallon sump but seems I will have to bite the bullet now to ensure I don't have failure on my trip to a larger system. Thank you everyone for the input.
 
So I know its been a while since I've posted. I've done multiple water changes (8 gallons.) I received a refractometer and a red sea test kit to test ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph and kh. I still have future water changes to do to bring levels down but I am at .2-.4 tested ammo (.02-.04 toxic levels.) First test i did i was at 2.0 (.2 toxic level.) I'm hoping I can save the coral. He has some color but browned out badly around the edges and 1 head of my chalice is completely closed up and gone. :(
