Water parameters are PH 8.3 Nitrate 0 Calcium 440

My RBTA was doing fine and then all of the sudden it closed up for 2 days and since then (3 days now) it has only 1/4 opened and looks like its smashed up. Not sure why it is doing this. Ive never had any luck with these guys.

Maybe its splitting? Any pictures by chance?

Another question for you guys. Can Calcium levels ever be "Too high"? I dosed Calcion by brightwell Aquatics and tested calcium levels after about 4 hours and it read 480 and 500 [2 tests].

It can be to high but those numbers aren't to bad. Just let it drop naturally. What are your ALK & MAG reading?
