These are my Tank Parameters


65 Gallon, Water Test
77.9 F
34 ppt Salinity
52 mS/cm Salinity
8.4 pH from API Test Kit
8.50 pH PinPoint

Ammonia 0.0 ppm
Nitrate 0.0 ppm
Nitrite 2.5 ppm

Phosphate 0.0 ppm
Calcium 450.0 ppm

KH 89.5 (w/5 Drops)

The KH test was done twice, on different days, it came out the same. My pH is 8.4 via two different test. Also I bring in outside air to keep my in-tank CO2 levels down.
 
I am confused with your numbers of kh, do you mean PPM?
89.5(ppm?) should be in the 140-150ppm range or 8.0 to 8.5Dkh.

Did you switch Nitrate and Nitrite numbers?
 
Yes, 88.5 ppm from an API Test. The pH was tested with an API and a SeaTest Kit, and the agrees with my PinPoint Monitor, which I know reads a little high. I’m just a little confused, as my pH is very stable. Also I’m having a terrible Stringy Algae Bloom, which is why I did all my tests.
