I didn't do them I only did the ph because in the tank the others are 0 so I wasn't worried about them I will check tonight.

 

[Reefscape]

no, its ok, no point doing them if they are Zero in the tank...Can you try water from somewhere else?

Niko

[Bahamiangirl]

should i do a salt water change?

 

[Reefscape]

Well, once you have some water that has acceptable pH levels, yes, then do a water change mate...and hopefuly, after a couple of changes, wwe should be back on track with the tanks pH mate...
