i don't have an alkalinity test kit so i don't know where they're at atm.
im changing 5 gallons every week as part of my pwc
i did add a few more inhabitants if that may affect the results and my sump was running really low and i had to add ~1 gallon of tap water to get through the night before i was able to go to the lfs and get some ro water, i don't know if that would be another cause for the boost in nitrates.
i haven't gotten a protein skimmer yet as the guy at the lfs mentioned that with my frequent pwc its not really necessary atm.
ohh...and i did the test after lights were on for a few hours
