Here are my Levels Any Suggestions??

Ammonia and Nitrites need to be at 0. By those two number it means your tank did not fully cycle. Is your Alk tested at DKH or meq/l? 

Your Alk is tested with Meq/l if your test kit says is at normal range. Alk can be read by using these two type of readings. If your corals and fish do not show any stress you should be fine. Do a 10% water change it wont really change those readings but it also wont slow down the cycle. Do you have Macro algae? how much Live rock do you have? How deep is your sand bed?

If you put macro algae in there like calurpa or cheato it will help your tank cycle faster. A water change will not really do anything. The bacteria that is the biological filtration needs to multiply in order to handle you bio load. How long has the tank been set up? It sounds like you added some of that stuff way to early. I personally like to cycle my tank before I add livestock because the ammonia and nitrites are toxic to pretty much everything and the more stuff dies the more ammonia it produces. Although some people will add soft corals to filter the water. I think the LPS corals you have wont like it to much. As far as you ALK, PH and Cal is concerned they are in acceptable range. Your calcium needs to be raised a little but other than that I would just add some macro algae and give it a little time until your ammonia and nitrites go down to 0. If there is fish in there cut down on feeding a ton until your tank cycles.

Unless the fish in there are Damsels, rushing forward like this could get very expensive.  Do what was suggested and get some macro algae (not the same as the stuff that grows on your glass) and then throw the tank into "idle" mode.  Your tank is clearly not cycled and needs time.  Things will come around in a couple weeks.

when Mark says 1/4 cup he isn't saying get a 1/4 of baking soda he is saying make the solution and use a 1/4 cup of the solution.
