Everything sounds good yet that just doesn't look like typical coraline to me... What are your parameters like at the moment?

Everything looks safe, except my Nitrates which are at 20+ppm. I haven't tested my Alk yet, but I will get on that.

Can you post numbers? They will help identify what you tank is up to.

Alk: 4.0 meq/L
Nitrate: 20 ppm
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Calcium: 400 mg/L
pH: 8.4

Well, they're a little more off then I thought they were :P Just tested them after my water change.

No Mag test yet. I'm short on funds :(

Is they're anything I should look out for (tank-wise) without having a Mag test?
