Aquarium Update (2/15/2022) - Long overdue update with content and water test

It's been a while since I last updated this log. A few creatures have died and new ones were introduced. Here's the thorough log:

Prior to water change (Haven't done water change for weeks...maybe 2 Months+, entire Winter and more)

Temperature: 72.7 F = 22.6 C

Salinity: 35.5 ppt / 1.0265 specific gravity

Ammonia:
Rea Sea: 0 - 0.1 mg/L = 0 - 0.01 mg/L Toxic Ammonia

Nitrite:
Tetra Strip test: 0

Nitrate: (Ideal <5 ppm)
Tetra Strip test: > 80ish ppm
Red Sea: 50+ ppm

Alkalinity: (Ideal 8 - 12 dkH)
Tetra Strip test: 80-120 ppm
Hanna: 138 ppm = 7.728 dkH

pH:
Tetra Strip test: 7.8ish
Rea Sea: 8.2

Calcium:
Hanna: 496 ppm

Phosphate:
Hanna: 1.54 ppm

Water change done right after measurement taken.

After 25% Water change, added one dosage each for: Microbe-Lift, Fluval Sea: (Calcium, Trace Elements, 3-ions), Marine Buffer:

Nitrate: (Ideal <5 ppm)
Tetra Strip test: 160ish ppm

Alkalinity: (Ideal 8 - 12 dkH)
Tetra Strip test: > 180 ppm

pH:
Tetra Strip test: 8.2ish

Conclusion, need to do more water changes. Never slack on that, at least once in 2 weeks. Once a week is ideal. Now in Winter, I get less water produced by the De-Humidifier, so I guess I'll have to go with tap water, which isn't bad based on my last testing. I should test the tap water every time.

Update (2/18/2022):

Nitrate: (Ideal <5 ppm)
Tetra Strip test: > 40ish ppm
Hanna: 52.3 ppm

Creatures:

So many have come and gone (died basically).

(gave away the 2x Three-Spot Domino Damsels to Aquatic Obsessions 3-4 weeks ago - too bad he claimed that every hated these fish so much he wouldn't do much trade off for me, I think he just knocked a couple bucks down for my new purchase)

(Lawnmower Blenny finally died after stomach bulging)

I'll start with the oldest ones in the tank that I can remember:

2x Three Stripe Damselfish (next kind of bully after the Three Spot Dominos, but seems to be tame now when enough time passed with new fish)

2x Blue Damselfish (less of a bully, but it seems that Damselfish are known to be bullies).

2x Feather dusters (one of them really grown at least 1.5 times bigger)

1x Yellow Clown Goby (I believe the other one, the more yellowish looking one has died a while back, not sure why, probably lack of food): Loves to sit on corals, particularly the kenya r

2x Clarkiis (Petco in Oldbridge)

2x Ocellaris Clown (I believe they are Ocellaris and not Percula, no orange in the eyes)

3x Blue-Green Chromis (my favorite because they are cheap, peaceful and active)

1x Yellow Belly Hippo Blue Tang (Had hard time coming out until I isolated the domino damselfish.

1x Yellowhead Jawfish (love playing with digging into sand and hide in it)

1x Copperband Butterflyfish. Seems to be doing well, I think it only feeds on my frozen food, but haven't really observed it eating them.

1x Striped Blenny (yellow lines)

1x Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse (Not too afraid of humans, love to bounce around just below the surface)

1x Green Clown Goby (I bought two, I think the are one is pretty much dead, probably out of starvation, common cause of death in my tank I think)

1x Splendid Dottyback

1x Peppermint Shrimp (I bought two more but I think only one left so far)

2x Royal Gramma Basslets (I think I have two, bought on separate time, the last one wasn't doing well and Oldbridge Petco wouldn't respond to a refund - I'll try never going back there again)

1x Purple/Orchid Dottyback

1x small hermit crab

1x Target Mandarin Dragonet Goby

1x pin cushion urchion (it really likes to grab objects like the Ceramic Rings I hid under the sandbed). Had to watch it, lest it took some of my frags with it.

1x bumble bee snail, 2x Turbo snails, lots of small growing white snails that came out of nowhere, probably from the sands I bought.

Corals:

Green Kenya Tree (From Frag Farm)

3, 4 batches of GSP (Green Star Polyps) The biggest one is from Aquarium Obsessions and is a different species than the others I think. Only 2 are visible and appears to survive well now.

Green Zoas, Green-Orange Zoas (larger), Palythoa

2x Candy Canes

1x Red Montipora frag, I think (from Frag Farm)

1x Green Ricordea Mushroom (Seemed to have shrunk, especially when I fed Reef Energy, need to look up how to save it)

4x Duncans (Appear to close often now, need to figure out why)
