your tank is close to crashing the calcium has to stay below 500. Try to never let it get over 450..temp is ok I keep my tank at 80..your ALK should be above 2.5 ......3.0 is perfect....if this were my tank I would do a water change ASAP and lower Calcium......your numbers should be nitrite 0, nitrate 0, Amonia 0, Calcium 420s and Alk 3.0 0r 3.5 temp 78,80 ....I dont use kalk this complacates things if you ask me...just use a 2 part supplament like C-Ballence ....this is what I use on my 55 reef lps corals...
Please keep me/us updated on your numbers and we'll help you through this...
Good Luck
Brian
