How are you cycling? I assume you're cycling. Need some context/background to understand what you're doing and what your test might be showing. What is in your tank?
PH should be at about 8.2 to 8.4 for reef. NO2 is nitrIte.

Yes. I thought this post was from a few days ago. The time and date stamps are all messed up.
