Ummmmm.. How?

HI ok so today I tested the water, and again my PH was too high and the Hardness was too high, what does it mean?? And how can I change it? I only have live rock in there right now.. I think im going to my LFS with my test strip and see what they tell me.

If your cycle is not complete, I wouldn't worry about them yet. I would also suggest using the liquid tests.
What are your current readings?
Stability is key, even if you can't get it to the "perfect" number.

I agree with Scott. The test strips aren't very accurate. Go to your LFS with a sample of your water and pick up some liquid test kits.

Ammonia
NitrIte
NitrAte
PH

Later you can look at
Calcium
Magnesium
Phosphate
