I just did my own testing. The lfs always does it for me and they tell me my water is good all the time but i bought a kit and im doing to myself..are these numbers ok?
Ph-8.2
Nitrate-10 (thats what the yellow thingy said)
Calcium-450
Alkalinity-4Meq/L
Im really not sure if i did some math wrong or if these are ok? PLEASE HELP lol

pH is fine, calcium fine, testable inorganic nitrates can never be too low, ALK is fine.. what about ammonia&nitrites or is the tank past that?

the take is over that, i dont have a test for that one. The tank is like a month old in my house, and the LR and LS are all over a tear old..It just got moved into my house.
I really want to put some Rock anenome and some mushroom polyps but will those since they are "meaty" eaters eat my blood shrimp?

Numbers look good, I would get a ammonia test though asap. Considering you have had some fish die recently, you need to keep track if there is any measurable ammonia. JMO
