I think, but still learning that my water is right on the money!
Salt=1.021-1.022
Nitrate=10
Nitrite=0
Ammonia=0
PH=8.2
Is this good?

Fish only right now, but do have 2 green brittles, and 1 red serp star
I have live rock and was wanting some easy corals in the near.
I just did a water change 2 weeks ago, so can I just add a little salt?
78-80 temp stays steady between these

you should never add straight salt to your tank. you always want to mix new saltwater for 24 hours with a small powerhead and a heater. you can mix a small amount of saltwater with a slightly higher salinty than your main tank and use that for evaporation top offs or you can make saltwater for your next waterchange with a slightly higher salinity. i do a 10% water change on my tanks weekly. temp of new water should be same as main tank.

ok "DO" may be the wrong Initnals? this is what my filter does....it makes Deionized water for me. I will change the power head towards the front
water exchange how does one calculate that, do I add up all GPH?
so with my current set up 3000 turn over rate? at 32x? is that right
