Hello ALL

Been a while since I have posted, Im trying to get my tank back in top shape and need some help and advise. I have a new light on order should be here shortly I am getting rid of my Maxspec cause all the lenses on the LEDS are clouded or burnt looking. After speaking with Maxspec its almost as much to buy a new light then it is to replace the lens.(I also feel this is the cause of my recent algae issue) I ordered the Rapid Led Corona, should be here Sat. Sunday I i did a 15 gallon Water change, and got all new test kits last night and tested away. Results are below. Now I have never tested for anything other then the normal before so I'm not sure on how this all works but I think everything is good except Salinity witch I'm working on. I want to start dosing Miss Wages lime once I get the salinity down in my auto top off. any and all advice will be great.

ammonia-0
nitrate-0
nitrite-0
salinity 1.029
kh-9.1
mg-1400
cal-425
Po4- >.25


i want to get everything correct and then start adding sps and more corals to the system.


Thank you

Po4 is very high for sps

Also, invest in a water top off system!
