Please help i think there testing is junk
Please advise on what to do as they gave no advice.

AWT aquariumwatertesting results
did anyone else get there results back from AWT and there was nothing but zeros below the bad results? If this is there way of reporting back to us then this was a waste of time. Also i think there test are bad as they have told me that my Magnesium was 938 and i know its around 1600. I feel that all SPS keepers should be awear of this and lets hope it was just my test that is wrong.

As you can see from the results there is no information is this how it come back?

Ammonia (NH3-4)
Natural Seawater Value: 0.010 mg/L
Acceptable Range: 0.000 to 0.050 mg/L
Tested: 0.006 mg/L
(GOOD) Your ammonia level is within the recommended range. We recommend staying
with the current feeding and stocking levels. Be sure to maintain a good schedule of water
changes and additives. Ammonia levels can rise after the addition of new animals, after a
water change, or after the changing of food diet. Any ammonia level above 0.05 mg/L is a
cause for concern, and the source should be found and corrected.

Phosphate (PO4)
Natural Seawater Value: 0.030 mg/L
Acceptable Range: 0.000 to 0.250 mg/L
Tested: 0.09 mg/L
(GOOD) Your phosphate level is within the recommended range. We recommend continuing
the current maintenance and water change schedule. The use of a phosphate absorbing
resin is recommended to keep phosphate levels below 0.05 mg/L.

Alkalinity (meq/L)
Natural Seawater Value: 2.5 meq/L

(GOOD) Your alkalinity level is within the recommended range. We recommend continuing
with your current water change and buffering schedule. Maintaining an appropriate alkalinity
is crucial to maintaining a healthy aquarium. A fluctuating alkalinity will lead to serious
problems in maintaining an appropriate pH, as well as problems keeping calcium and
magnesium levels within required ranges.
