I try to keep my calcium around 440 because I have a few clams. Not sure if it is needed or not. Also I use Reef Crystal salt which is quite high in calcium and when ever I do a water change having a higher level of calcium help prevent too much swing. Things seem to be going well with this level so far.

I don't have any plan to upgrade to a larger tank because of the room in the house is limited. If I could I would love to have a large FOWLR but that's not something that's going to happen unless I win at the lottery!

If I could change something? I would get rid of the common SPS and replace them with rare and exquisite ones. That's what I am doing slowly. I got a red dragon, red planet, bird of paraside, setosa and a few other rare corals to replace my staghorn and my more common SPS. I will add in the future a wolverine, palmer's blue and a few others rare corals.

My future plan on short term is to attempt raising my black ice clownfish eggs. So I am now getting ready for this with a setup to raise the eggs.

It's not going to be this batch of eggs because I am not ready for them, but soon

Maybe he was bored? or just curious. I also lost my beautiful niger trigger and found him one day dry on the floor I have no idea why he jumped out. there was nothing in the tank that could possibly attack him, no aggressive fish, but he was very skittish.
CBB's seem to like clams, mine picked on the clam I had too. Not sure why but I find Triggers are just as bad for jumping out as wrasses are. I've lost 1 pink tail and 2 niger triggers to the carpet
