What do you see wrong or right in my new water test?

[kaz]

KH 8
GH 18
PO4 1.0
PH 7.4
CO2 8
FE 0.1
NH3 0
NO2 0
nitrate 10-20

If everything is inline, and the test kits are fairly accurate, the ferts are inline. But it's not always the case, as sometimes you can get readings when something is actually 0ppm or close to it.

If your kh and ph are what they are, the calculator says it's 10ppm, not 8ppm.

what calculater?
so does all my reading look good. I read I suppose to have 0 phosphate and i have 1.0 is this bad?

If you are a planted tank, you want both nitrates and phosphates, as well as dosing Potassium and adding CO2 if high lighting. 1.0 Phosphates is not bad at all. Algae thrives on deficiencies, so you do not want 0ppm in a planted tank.

I sent you the links for Chucks calculator.
