I have lost several fish in the last week due to what I believe may be the
alkaline being too low in my tank. I've done 2 water changes & even I've
tried to raise the PH a little in attempts to raise the alkaline. The tank
is 15 years old, however I've had it in storage for the last 5 years. I set
it back up 2 weeks ago. Here are the test results.

Nitrate (NO3) - 0
Nitrate (NO2) - .5
Hardness - 75 soft
Total Alkalinity- 0
PH - 7.2 neutral

That is way too low pH and alkalinity for a marine setup! ;-)
