Nobody else chimed in because it's still within recommended parameters most likely.
Do you always keep the alkalinity this low?
125.3~17.9=7dkh.
Wait how is there no ammonia, nitrate, or nitrite?

It is the lower edge of recommended level.
7-11 dkh or 125.3-196.9 ppm.
My one tank eats KH @ a 2ppm level per week so I keep it in the upper end when I dose.
If your tanks is steady it may be fine.
I just noticed no one else chimming in or mentioning your results?
I usually aim for between 9 and 10 dkh personally.
Your Ca is a touch high but I would not adjust it or worry.Thank you for addressing it. I will see if I can raise it up some.

Ok salinity is down to 1.22. Should I be adding some salt to my top off water to prevent this from happening? This tank is in my office at work. I have a Tunze top off system but for some strange reason it stops working. So when I come into work on Monday the water level in the sump has dropped down below the pump. To get the level back up I usually have to add almost a whole gallon of Rodi water. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

It sounds like you either have a faulty unit or its set up incorrectly... I'm not familiar with the Tunze unit. Is there a sensor in the return section of your sump?
Yes there is a sensor. I have had this one replaced once under warranty for the same issue only it stopped working all together. I have one on my 29 gallon and no problems with that one.

I guess what I'm asking is, is how is it set up?
I have the JBJ ATO, and if the sensors are upside down, not in "sensor 1" or "sensor 2" slot, etc etc it won't function properly.
Looks like the tunze comes with 2 sensors, how are they situated in your sump and top off reservoir?
