I've done my first test on my 94L Aquarium, it's been 2 weeks since it's been set up to cycle with cured Live Rock, Live Sand & LFS pre-made saltwater.

I've done my first water test and these were the parameters

Temp: 80'F (I'm going to lower this to 79'F)
Ph: 8.0
Alkalinity: 13.4 dkh
Salinity: 1.026
Nitrate: ~0ppm
Ammonia: ~0ppm

My Ph and alkalinity are too high what would be the best way to lower these to the suitable level.

Thanks :)

your alkalinity is a bit high but your pH is ok. i wouldn't do anything in this case. your alk will get lower in time.
