fish & mixed coral reading

[Rueda]

Good morning,
I am new to the hobby and been working on my new 30gal fish and mixed coral tank. Here are my readings

Test Results
pH 7.6
Ammonia 0
Alkalinity 11.8 dkh
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 20
Salinity 1.025
Calcium 350 ppm
Magnisium 1600 ppm

How do the readings look? I was thinking of brining the calcium up. What do you all think of Kent Turbo?

Welcome to R2R!

pH needs to get to at least a stable 7.8 and preferably 8.0. Calcium is fine and Alk and Mg are on the high side. What salt mix are you using and what is your water change frequency?

 

[Rueda]

Once a week I'm doing water changes. I used instant ocean salt mix.

How can i bring the pH up?

Some of the easier methods are increased surface agitation or an air stone.

Well i got a protein skimmer, power filter ( these cause some surface disturbance) and also 2 power heads that switch from left to right every 30 minutes

 

[MaiReef]

Have your protein skimmer air fed from a tube that runs outside.

Sounds to me like you've got excess of CO2 in your house. What kind of skimmer are you using?
