Dont Understand

[term_paint]

I have the coral life 16 bio cube. I just tested the water and things are not right. I ussed two dosages of Colony a couple of weeks ago and started the tank i have snails and one small crab. Also a very very small hammer. My water parameters are off..
Also i have very tought to scrap green algae on the glass and brown on the rocks and sand.


Salanity 1.022
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
Calcium 450
Dkh 9.3

Putting some food in the tank every few days to try to get it to come around any suggestions??

Normal new tank processes.
Salinity should be closer to 1.025
Magnesium needs to be tested also.
No fish, no food needed.

Yes ^^^^^^

You should expect water parameters to change, not remain the same. There is very complex biology in a reef ecosystem that will always be messing with the chemistry. To help get an understanding of how things may change I'd suggest weekly testing for awhile.
