I'm almost scared to put this for fear of being wrong but here was my last readings:
SG: .0025 (I have mine here because it's better for corals)
pH: 8.3 (best between 8.2-8.4)
ALK: 10 degrees or 179 (don't really know but I read 8-12 deg is good)
Calcium: 480 (between 400-500)
Nitrate: 0 (zero is optimal)
Nitrite: 0 (zero is optimal)
I have probably royally screwed that up but this is everything I've read.

hope you mean 1.025, cause .0025 would be almost nonexistant.
