I am new to the Saltwater Hobby: Tank is 4 months old.
I am currently maintaining a 10 gallon customized acrylic tank.
Equipment: Coralife Power Compact Strip producing 36 watts
Livestock: Damsel, Chromis, Condy Anenome
Coral: Mushrooms and Clove Polyps
Problem: My water parameters are a bit off. They are:
PH: 8.4
Nitrate: .20
Ammonia: .25
Nitrite: .25
I do weekly water changes with R/O water but I can't get my parameters in line with what they should be? Will these parameters kill my coral as well? I do have both live rock and live sand. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

they dont seem all that bad to me
do you test for anything else?

I looked up that anenome and it needs a lot of lighting, and the other corals probably need more lighting too.
Have you tested the water you do water changes with?
