are these params good?
 

temp 29 c
ph 8.4
nitrite .005 ppm
nitrate 0ppm
ammonia 0.04ppm
calcium 500ppm
phosphate 0.01ppm

hmm that's some crazy calcium

how's the alkalinity?

sorry forgot to write that one down........

my test doesnt give ppm for alk....... just says normal........

i know calcium should be around 450 is 500 really bad?

too much amm and nitrite. It should be zero!


Js

No 500 isnt bad unless you have somestuff in the tank that is comsuming the Calcium.

It can add some damage over time to your impellers on the pumps ...


mike

water changes to fix that? 10 or 20%

How long has your tank been set up? With reading of ammonia and nitrite it seems it is still cycling?

its been up and running for over 1 1/2 months closer to 2 months found out the wife hasnt cleaned the filter since the last time i did it...... damn its been runnib for closer to 3 months come to think of it.

It's impossible to have zero ammonia and nitrite.
Your ammonia and nitrite readings are fine.
