Is my water ok?

[realest]

Ok, i changed my water last night and did a test on it today. The result was this:

Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0
Alkalinity: 175
P.H: 8.2
Granity: 1.027
Salinity: 36ppt
Temp: 77F
Calcium: 390
Phosphate: 0

That is my test result. Is this ok?

calcium should come up a little and alk should be down alittle

[realest]

i am using the 2 part product which dose alk and cal. How do i lower alk and add cal?

Do i just dose the part 2 without part 1?

I dose 2 part but also keep a tub of turbo calcium and reef builder. I dose those if i need to get my levels in check with each other. Then I return to 2 part.
I would bring your salinity down to 34 / 35

Do you still only have 4 soft corals? any hard corals? Your ca and alk look fine...

[realest]

Sorry, i dont know how to update my profile. I currently have about 8 soft corals and 2 hard corals. As for as fishes goes, i have only 3. So is my water ok for the livestock i have?

Those parameters are reasonable as is, in my opinion. I run at a higher temperature (82 F) and a bit lower SG (35 ppt), but I suspect the differences aren't all that critical.
