Few days ago a couple of corals closed, I realized coralline seemed to have slowed, tube worms and clams didn't have much bright white new growth at the end of their growth area, so I tested water again - 6.1 dKH. (420 Ca)
So I added baking soda. Spreading it over a few days, since I'm going 6 to 9.
I noticed you have multiple clams and like to point out that they are notorious for sucking the elements out at incredible rates.

I've had a derasa clam for around two years and it's still at the same size as when I got it.
