are you running a SW tank?

No freshwater

try running some peat in your filter. or just buy a PH buffer.

Will that bring up the total alkanility too?

what exactly are ammonia, nitrite and nitrate readings? leave the PH alone.

jwowoski · May 5, 2014

Both the nitrate and nitrite readings came out to be safe
And the ammonia came out ideal which is under the safe level so there's no ammonia in the tank

here is a good article on the two things and how they are related. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2002/5/chemistry

Is the tank brand new? If so read up on the nitrogen cycle and if you have fish ordered, prepare for cycling with fish(lots of water changes etc).
