Update:
I removed a little over 2/3 of the water Friday. It was okay because my fish a still small. I added 1/3 new water. Wow, that made a difference. My clams had just been buried in the substrate, now they are reaching out from the substrate and filtering. Slowly over the weekend added water back 5 gallons at a time.
I will be ordering the new test kit this week, unless I can get a comparable price from PetSmart or PetCo.
Thanks for the input.
