Sal: .26
PO4: 0
NO3: 20

why are my levels still so high?

Your levels are not high. They are a bit un-balanced and a couple are a tad low
Your Ca is a bit up there ... better closer to 410-20
Your Alk is too low for your Clam. Try to target 7-8dKH
Your Mag is OK, but 1350 is a better balance for the Big 3

If you ever plan on any SPS you'll need these levels. Otherwise, it's your Clam that needs it

Natural Seawater aside, keeping your levels at what I've posted gives you room for usage. This is just my opinion, and based on what I've learned on Canreef from the Gurus

I may as well throw some SPS in here -_-
