Also how long has your tank been running. From those parameters it looks to me like its still cycling.


I'd just do a couple of water changes to get the ca lower. IMO.
The test kit I'm using is Salifert but that is only for calcium. For No2, No3, pH and ammonia is aquarium pharmaceuticals.

How can I bump up my salinity without just dumping salt should I just make some DI water and make it's salinity at 1.025-1.026 or add salt because I am willing to add water to top of my sump level.
