Tests?

What are your thoughts on my test. I am new with a 55g FOWLR. My tank is 3 weeks old and I have 35.5 lbs of live rock, live sand, 3 blue green chromis, 2 astrea snails, and 2 blue legged hermit crabs. i have only 2 of each right now i am not trying to rush anything.
My test are
Ammonia--0
PH--8.2
Nitrate--10
Nirtite--0
Calcium--400
KH carbonate--10
Salinity--1.023
temp--78

Should I get my Calcium up some more?

[kau_cinta_ku]

cal. is good. but would raise the sg. to around 1.025-1.026

Your calcium level is great, and with a FOWLR you don't have any organisms that need calcium to grow (hard corals such as LPS and SPS).

What is the easiest way to get sg up?

[parmaker]

In about 1 month to 1 1/2months I would like to add 2 clowns and a yellow tang. Would that be too early. I dont want to rush.

[kau_cinta_ku]

i wouldn't reccomend a tang in a 55 gal.

and the sg. you can just top off your evaporated water with salt water till it gets to where you want it.

[parmaker]

why not a yellow tang, my friend has one in a 55g

[kau_cinta_ku]

they need more swimming room than a 55 gal. can handle. not saying it can't be done just not reccomended
