You are going to get a better test kit I hope.
What's in the tank, live rock sand? Size of the tank helps.
And how long has it been running?

I would not trust that test kit, invest in Red Sea Pro, or Salifert. Then see what they read. How long has it been. A complete cycle usually takes 6-8 weeks

I have a 26g bow and have 15 lbs Lr in it and 20 lbs live sand 8 small blue hermits 4 cone snails and an emerald crab... Picked up the other day when I noticed bubble algae... I put in a bottle of bio spira the first week and have been dosing with nite out II the 2nd week as well am about 2 weeks in I believe

Wow
I let mine sit for a month with just the rock. Then sand, sat another two weeks. Finally got lights. And sat for another two weeks playing with the lights Radions LED love them. Before I broke my other tank down.
I'd be doing some water changes and hope for the best.
Best thing with salt tank go slow.
Nothing good happens fast.

I understand that and I am not rushing out to buy fish right now I am prolly gonna wait a week make sure everything is stable before I consider a fish and def no corals the crappy light that I did have crapped out today so waiting till I get my quad t5ho for any corals... But after playing with the LEDs in the lfs today I might just spring for the kessil
