FianallybPicked up Reef test kit today

[1fstlightning]

So I fianally was able to get my Reef test kit earlier from Reefs2U and my levels are as follows:



Nitrates:5.0
Phospahtes:0.0
Calcium:680
Magnesium:1260
KH:304.3
Salinty:1.026
Temp:78


Was just curious if these levels are fine, also if my Calcium, Magnesium, Or the KH levels are high?

Yeah I never used one either but I had a problem with my Krptonites not wanting to open, So I thought I would check the levels.

did u change anything

calcium is high. If you've been dosing something you can stop dosing that now.
Your alkalinity is at 17dkh assuming you posted kh in ppm. That's high too. If you've been dosing something for that you can stop that now too and let it drop (it will over time).
Nitrates are amazingly high. Maybe it's taken in a different measure than the usual ppm? What measure did it use?
