Unresolved Got a huge problem i think

glad to hear everything is ok. FYI tho, if you cal even got half as high as you said it did i think your water would have a milky (cloudy) look as it becomes saturated.

 

Would i be ok to get a clam this week? My params are:
Nitrate-0
nitrite-0
Ph-8.3
calcium-about 475'ish
alklinity-135'ish PPM
Salinity-1.025
Tempature-80
Is there anything else i need to test for?

 

what kind of lights do you have?

 

and your alkalinity is 7.56 dKH... I dont see how your keeping that much Ca+ in suspension with that level of alkalinity. We usually keep alkalinity at ~9-11 dKH (160-196ppm) so that the calcium can stay in the water without precipitating out. A clam will be fine at your params, given that your light is strong enough

how to Balance Calcium and Alkalinity: (form Randy Holmes-Farley)

Ca+ ----- Alkalinity
360 ppm to 0 dKH
370 ppm to 1.4 dKH
380 ppm to 2.8 dKH
390 ppm to 4.2 dKH
400 ppm to 5.6 dKH
410 ppm to 7 dKH (natural seawater)
420 ppm to 8.4 dKH
430 ppm to 9.8 dKH
440 ppm to 11.2 dKH
450 ppm to 12.6 dKH
460 ppm to 14 dKH

 

I have some VHO's on it with no atintic just regular daylight. They are pendants
