phoss 0.4 calcium 350
i do 35gal water changes every other week! fish i have , a pair of marron clowns,sizzar goby ,clown goby,dragon goby, orangespot goby, cleaner wrasse,sailfin blenny, 30 snails . 10 crabs, few shrimp. one large bubble coral, green torch coral, and three long tip anemone. I know that i added to much to soon

Every thing looks healthy . and happy using ro water . I know that my calcium is low . should i use a calcium supplement? what all my other levals? thanks jeff

Well, you did go WAY too fast. Your tank is not mature enough to handle the bioload that is in there. Also, the cleaner wrassie is likely to die. They do not eat anything but parasites so I would take him back ASAP. If any of these things are new that you could take back I would highly recomend it as well. You can always get them again later. I suggest alot of water changes to keep those levels in check. Your salinity is also very low. You want it up around 1.025-1.026 for inverts. Raise it slowly (when you do your water changes)

That makes a big difference. You did add too much at once, however the good news is that your rock should take care of it fairly quickly. I would still do some waterchanges to get those numbers back to zero asap

The rock is not helping if you are having ammonia and nitrite testing positive.
Water changes to reduce both to 0 are needed.

Yes, slowly bump up calc. but also check magnesium and Alk.
