Just checking the perams, Help?

Don't get me wrong I'v done a bit of reading... quite a bit since I started. I'm getting lots of advice going this way and that but really what I would like is some input from you 3reefers as to where my tank could use some help.

Heres the perams: 7-7-08

NO2-0.05
Ph-8.2
NO3-20
NH3/NH4-0-0.10
Ca-450
Po4-0.5
ALK-2.3ish
Temp-25c/77f
Grav-1.024ppt

Livestock:
2 sand sifting stars
1 six line wrasse
4 blue chromis
1 clarki clown
1 percula clown
2 fire gobi's
1 gold tail damsel
2 skunk shrimp
1 diagonal butterfly fish
1 small hammerhead
5-6 green mushrooms
1 bubble tip
1 waving hand(that's not doing so hot)...
and lots of snails.

So, where am I sitting?

 

How big is the tank and how long has it been set up for that you've still got nitrites?

 

Are you using tap water?

having nitrate, nitrite and phos is a bad thing, you having bad algae issues?

 

I myself never test for anything except Ca. 450 to 500 or so Alk 4.0 to 5.0 or 12to 14 or so DKh and magnesium 1400 to 1500 ppm NO3 and NO4 Zero . I never have been much on micro managing the systems its a living thing and it will change fro hr to hr and day to day .
As already mentioned you having a particular problem or problems ?

 

The tank is 75g. Good flow, 29g sump. tank is not that old. No tap water, RO from the lfs or distilled. Everything is thriving except that one piece of coral. The purple waving hand. Tank is 2 1/2 months old. I know, go slow.

 

It's sounds like too much too fast. not that the parameters are horrible. I would just perform normal water changes and monitor for another 2 months. Don't add any other fish, during this time.

It should mature enough to knock the Nitrites and Nitrates down.

basically keep doing what I'm doing as far as care and maintenance? I know I moved too quickly. Just my nature. So far nothing is suffering because of it.
