dKH is a measurment of alkalinity. What are your water readings? ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, PH, etc?

Vitals as of this morning
Temp- 76
PH- 8.2
NH3- 0
Nitrates- 0
PO4- 0
Salinity- 1.0245
Calcium- 400
Here is the confussion, the test reads 11dKH(11 drops added) the other test i used was a quick dip test which reads 300ppm KH.
In your opinion, what water parameters are need to keep say , zoanthids(polyps, shrooms etc.) Not just maintaining them but having them multiply readily. Ive had them on LR rock that i bought only to see them regress. Whats the Deal -e- o
