ok, trying to decipher some of your figures, you say ammonia is detectable or 1, not good, should be 0 if your tank is cycled, as the same with nitrite which it appears you are getting a reading also. nitrates are fine but should be as close to zero as you can get. ph is fine, not sure what that alk reading is at 240? it should be a single digit like 2.6meq etc. or a larger single digit like 8 or 9 if you are reading dkh, what type of kit are you using? it seems you definitely still have some water parameter issues to attack at this point, what is the size of your system and how much rock and where did it come from when you got it?
