water perimeters ok for corals and setup ok for corals?

[37Alpha]

have tested my water perimeters after seeing corals not really opening up fully. need some advise if this is ok?

PH: 7.8 (trying to bring it up to 8.1)

Calcium: 360 (have added calcium to bring it to 400)

Ammonia: 0.5

KH: 8

tempt:26 degrees Celsius

Tank is 1.5ft length

using a external canister filter to chiller then back to tank, have added the smallest size Boyu wave maker to create some additonal current

Currently have Anemone, Hammer, elegance and Jewel. daily feeding with marine snow solution, but understand from a LFS that better to switch to zooplex solution

Are you using a accurate testkit? Ammonia should not be 0.5, It is quite high and will kill any livestock in the tank, corals included...

No point feeding if the lighting is not sufficient as they need lighting to grow well and no feeding is required for LPS...

I have just added skimmer n carbon in my filter. Hope it will eliminate the ammonia as advise by a shop.
