Phosphates are .25, calcium seems high I just got a test kit. It’s 700

So what else is off?

I don't see an ALK number posted anywhere.

Actually I don't se any parameters posted anywhere other then PO4, and Calcium.

You won’t find alk anywhere, I don’t have a tester as stated above. 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 0 nitrates as well.

That would have been my first test kit, then calcium, PO4, and nitrate in that order.

ALK is the one parameter that must remain rock steady. If I had to guess, your probably way high in ALK if your calcium is that high. LPS bail polyps to try and get away from "sewer" water.

PS.
Not saying your water is like a sewer, just the best word to describe out of wack parameters.

your tests are producing weird numbers, which are usually produced by API test kit, is that what you're using by any chance? If I'm right, then the next thing you do should be to get better test kits, if you intend to keep corals.
