ph is 8.4
nitrite-.50
nitrate-20
ammonia- between .25-.50....

tank is 180 with 100 pounds live rock...
 
Not yet. pH is a bit high as are ammonia and nitrite. Should let it cycle some more and do a water change. Is the rock freshly imported?
 
the rock was cycled in a store...
but rock has only been in 2 weeks..

i just bought a test kit and wanted to see if i was on the right track...
 
1 rock looks liek that the other have 1 caot in brown algea... i been leaving my lights on 24/7

why 24/7??? tank needs another week or two of cycle what other kind of filter are you using besides live rock?
 
i just like the algea look of the rock.. so i have it on...
